Freudling: The encouragement is appreciated. I did not try the tactic of formatting and software installation prior to putting the IDE-CF adapter and card in the machine. No doubt…

So far it has surprised me by keeping the date and time after being put to sleep and disconnecting the power. Now if I can get these hinges fixed.... I guess the ones from a lomba…

Just in case I am keeping it plugged in without the main battery. This evening will be 24 hours, but I'm suspecting it's really dead.

Love my mint 5300ce... threw a CF Card in there for an internal hard drive. Works great, and has a double capacity battery that lasts for about 5 hours, and I have a flush wifi ca…

Had a horrible time trying to find out what was wrong with it only to discover after a lot of messing about it was my us/uk adapter had died for the charger so the battery was just…

Great discussion. I wrote these specs years ago... they might come in handy (check the GLOD solution there, although looks like you already tried it). Also, like at links at bott…

Very interesting...I suppose if the voltage is correct it may work though. I know this is somewhat off-topic, but since car batteries have been brought up, does anyone know of a g…

I see that this thread has been inspiring.... In the interests of completeness, however, I will report finally that I simply could not get the internal CF drive of which I wrote a…

The Pismo is certainly known to recharge backup cells by removal of the main battery. I don't know about the Wallstreet, but you could give it a try and post the results for the re…

Aargh! I got all the screws out, but I can't get the case off! It seems to be sticking near the spacebar, in the center front. Any good ways to get the case off? Click to exp…
