Re: libretto repair recommendations?

I would make a serios assessment of the value of the unit to you, then investigate replacement machines. If you value your particular machine, I would consider sending it to www.micsol.com (an old friend of this list) or your nearby Toshiba Laptop Repair facility. Before you take it in, there are a few things you could do: Remove any expansion RAM and test, if fine, re-install RAM and test again. Try holding in the RESET while powering-up - my Portege 3015 was stuck and needed this to work... The issue seemed to be that my laptop wanted to resume, but there was no image to resume, so it would reboot, then it would try and resume, but there was no image, so it would... Well, you get the idea ;^) An estimate from a "real" repair facility is a worthwhile investment. Just advise them upfront of your $$ limits on the repair. HTH, Ken "Todd C.

Re: IBM Hard Drive
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 11:11:03 -0400 From: Ken Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: IBM Hard Drive OK, I have to do this: The installer (IIRC) enforces the 64 meg minimum. Once installed, all bets are off. 48 Meg is, um, 50% larger than the 32 Meg the original poster's laptop had in it. Running Win2K *server* on less than 64 meg of ram is, um, hugely sub-optimal... That your friend could do it, does not mean it is practical as an on-going system, any use of the machine as *any* kind of non-trivial server would be very slow, if at all possible. Of course, I am not hoping to dissuade anyone from doing it, if only to show friends what you can boot on your rminimal system.

I has to be software, either pare the installed software down to a workable minimum, or get a new HD and start over again with a fresh OS install, then install your drivers and your apps, then your restored data files (from you regular backup medium of choice)... What, you don't have a backup? It has got to be software - the HD couldn't corrupt the files just enough to cause memory leaks, but not bring the system to a halt.

What you will want to do is copy the Win 95 CD onto your libretto, then remove everything off of your HD *except* what is needed to boot to dos.

Re: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT

I have *full* Win98 CD-ROMs, not *upgrade* CD-ROMS. What I wound up doing was nuking the WIn95 install as much as possible (did you knoww there are hidden, zero-length files in some directories that the 'del' command can not remove? Anyway, after infliciting major damage by deleting everything I could, and renaming directories I couldn't empty, I was able to install Win98 on my machine from a CD-ROM image copied onto my local HD over a network connection. Does anyone know how to *upgrade* a Win95 install with a Win98 *full-version* CD? By default, it can not be done (Win98 setup finds the OS and aborts)...

Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 21:32:15 -0500 From: "Ken Hansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Overseas access and a great deal on a Portege laptop... Steve, As it turns out, I think I will go for $24 for 10 hours access, additional hours at $3-4/hr. I think I would be hard pressed to use all 10 hours (the wife is coming along...) in the five days, besides, I can justify $24 as a one-time expense - compared to the cost of the trip, it is a bargain. One thing I like to do with vacations is calculate my base burn rate, I take the amount of money I am paying (let's say $1,000), then divide that by the number of hours (call it 96, 4 days), then my burn rate is $10/hr just *being* there (this of course, takes into account the cost of getting there, the cost of eating while there, and all the disposable purchases I make while I am there). My burn rate for this trip is about $25/hr - if I add another $24 to the total expense of the trip, my cost goes up to $25.20/hr... It is easy, the ISP is willing to waive any one-time setup fees, so the total out-of-pocket is $24. BTW, the Bermudian Phone Co. has a surcharge for spending more than 60 minutes on one call...

The rebate on the PCMCIA cards is only good if you buy a 3Com access point, I'd buy one, if I could get it for a final cost of < $150 (after the rebate on my previously purchased 3Com AirConnect PCMCIA cards). Thanks in advance, Ken -Original Message- From: Lee A. Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 7:01 AM To: Libretto Subject: Car Power, Wireless Gateways and Virtual CD's Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 06:50:21 -0500 From: "Lee A. Dickinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Car Power, Wireless Gateways and Virtual CD's A few things of possible interest: 1) Several people asked me if I was sure that the Mobility Electronics MAA-3406-10 air/auto power adapter would work with the L100 because the literature stated Toshiba 3000 series. Well, I got it and it works great. The MAA-3404-10 model which is all over eBay is for the L50-70 series. Someone pointed out that they had successfully used the straight auto voltage for a long time. In addition to being the correct 15v, this unit has filtering of power line noise. Starter motors can induce voltage surges over 100v when the car is started. That's why cell phone adapters (cheap ones) say to plug them in after you start the car. Nobody does that, but last month my wife's cell phone charger died of this abuse. I think this adapter is a good solution. Best price I found (about $10 less) was at buy.com Here's a link to them: http://www.us.buy.com/default.asp 2) I went shopping on zdnet.com for a 3com Wireless gateway and AirConnect ethernet card and found a super deal. Most of the 3com Home Wireless Gateways were priced from $299 to $349. List is $399. There was one company with a price of $234. I thought it was an error. The AidConnect was $124 vs. $175 most other places. To top it off, 3com has a $50 mail-in rebate that ends with orders postmarked today. Have to hurry if this interests you. So, after rebate, what would have cost me $580 for a total wireless solution ends up $330. Here is a link to the supplier: http://www.firstsource.com/gen/B2B/FSI/Splash/default.asp 3) I am also in the process of auditioning three different Virtual CD programs that I found on zdnet.com. I will post the results. Right now I am working with the Paragon CD Emulator product. An advantage over direct copy is that it has good compression and takes less space on the HDD. It also works slick for those pesky 2-disk programs (like MapSource) that want to find the data disk in the same drive that you installed from and can detect the difference between autorunning a CD and just trying to run Setup from the copied-over files. I installed both CD's in the Virtual CD drive and installed from the virtual CD. Works slick, but I still want to see what the other products do. 4) I am finding ZDNet to be a great resource. Lots of downloads of shareware, and plenty of information.You have probably all been there, done that, but here it is: http://www.zdnet.com/ DISCLAIMER: I have no personal interest in any of these ventures. I just thought some of you would find them helpful as I did. To the rest, I apologize for the use of bandwidth. Also, with the 3com rebate running out today, that news seemed urgent.

If the IR port were in the back, that would be hard. I think putting the IR port on the right is simply a convention that goes back to machines as early as the HP 200 LX palmtop, and also a concession to the fact that the IR portsa re typically used for computer-accessory connections, not laptop to laptop networking.

Re: Cheap Lib 100CT's

Based on your success at this auction, you will have some L100's to offer us, at what appear to be good prices. It is speculation at this point, and all anyone knows is that *someone* will buy these units in the near-term, and it might be you. ;^) WRT the monitors - I'd avoid them, unless you have a use for them. In the US, a used 17" monitor can be had for *well* under $100US, new they can still be gotten for *just* under $100US. 15" monitors (refurbs) can be $59 w/ warranty from many established vendors. For comparison, a 19" monitor (preferable in nearly all circumstances) can typically be gotten *new* for around $150, $175. If you are buying these for yourself, keep these prices in mind - if buying for resale, *halve* the above prices and you may be able to sell them for that much (the above prices had large companies standing behind them, you are simply an individual unloading used equipment)...

Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 02:12:09 -0500 From: "Ken Hansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Low-cost HD upgrade for libretto owners... at 9.5 mm you should be fine - I simply had to push a bit harder than normal to squeeze a 3.2 Gig 9.5 mm drive into my L50. And since my L110 came with a 4 Gig HD, I have not had a reason to upgrade it (yet), but it is designed for 9.5 mm drives. For the L50, the suggestion from most is to simply loosen the case screws to give you room to insert the drive, then tighten up the screws/case. My low-priced drive is destined for my new toy, a Portege 650ct I got off ebay for $180 + $16 S/H, a P133 w/32 Meg RAM, 1.3 Gig HD and an 11.3" TFT 800x600 display. I got the drive for $69, a drive tray/sled for $15, and S/H is under $10 - not a bad little upgrade, IMHO.

A power-down is required, with a scandisk (since windows was not shut down properly), that sometime itself will freeze (or take so long to move to the next percent done that I power-cycle and restart, usually it will get into the 80s or 90s, then it will sit on one percentage point and I will wait 10 minutes or so, and seeing no disk activity or motion in percent done, will power cycle). Up until about two weeks ago this machine ran fine, able to stay up for hours at a time, does anyone have any ideas? It is possible I performed some recent MS update, but there doesn't seem to be a direct correlation between the two events, but I can not be 100% sure. Has anyone seen problems like this before? Any advice? Should I simply attempt an update from MS update service, and if that fails consider the OS to be questionable and re-install the OS? The commonality among all teh failures, now that I think about it, may be Outlook 2000 - I didn' t relize it until right now, but that is always running in the forground when the error occurs...

Re: L100CT motherboard
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 07:16:01 -0500 From: "Ken Hansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: L100CT motherboard Where there any dramatic event in the life of your L100 *just before* it stopped working? What are the symptoms you are encountering: Have you tried multiple power sources - including different batteries? Does it appear to charge the battery? Does it properly indicate power is available (AC adapter)? Does it do anything when you try and boot? Did you have the speaker turned off - one way a bad I/O device is flagged on powerup is by a series of beep codes - when the unit worked? Have you tried reseting the unit - apply power, press power switch and stick a pin in the small reset hole (location on an L100 unknown)? Please provide as much information as possible - I hope your problem can be diagnosed that way - I suspect that repairing an L100 motherboard may not be practical (size, density, etc.) - I suspect that the MB is considered non-repairable by Toshiba, it is probably simply swapped out for these types of problems... Sorry, Ken (Whose L110 is acting a bit hinkey as well - but I suspect the OS/application software. Outlook Express has frozen on me several times, requiring a power cycle to regain control of the system.

Re: Subscribing to the List

The latest L70s have been shipping with a 2.1GB HD instead of the 1.6GB HD stated in the specifications, but altered so you only see the first 1.6GB. (Apparently, the 1.6GB HD is out of production...) Many lucky people have already reported having the larger 2.1GB HD :). Note: It has been determined that the only way to get the L70 to see and recongnize all 2.1GB is to download and install the older 6.20 BIOS. The 6.30 & 6.40 BIOS has disabled support and will not be able to use or see all 2.1GB of this hard drive (bad Toshiba, bad!). The BIOS has been mucked with to make it look like a smaller drive - an older BIOS will fix that issue...
