Thomas You just might try pulling the memory, (under they keyboard) and try booting. I have seen on both the 100 and the 110, where the additional memory, seems to work itself loose, and the Libby will fail to boot. Pulling the memory and reinserting it, seems to fix this, for me. Hope it is this simple! David ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.
