wether your works ... or doesn't work isn't going to help me.

I already know this integrated cyclone replacement works great, because mcdermd has the same one. He's been running it for more then 5 years now in his portable.

Besides my original battery solution should work fine because the HD should spin all the way down to 5.7 volts, My issue is a onboard voltage regulation.

But right now i'm not tearing this thing down again. Its going to remain in its state until, I get some expert advice from someone that has dealt with this voltage regulation issue. So far in the Threads listed, is no known solution for the back lit version...
