Subject: New 70CT questions
Hey folks,
I've just bought a 70CT. with an extended port replicater off an Ebay add,
and have a couple of simple questions.
First... connecting the darned serial mouse to the extended port replicater,
and setting the mouse properties in BIOS to 'simultaneous', shut Windows
down before the Windows boot process reaches the desktop. Not a HUGE
deal... I swiped the PS/2 mouse from my desktop, but when the system booted,
the internal accupoint worked fine, but the external PS/2 mouse went
absolutely spastic. Setting the mouse properties to 'Internal/External' got
the external mouse to work while it's attached to the port replicator... but
the accupoint doesn't work. Not a huge deal either. But I'm always curious
about why things don't work as planned.
The only thing that's just a tad funky about the new 70CT is that one little
pixel on the screen seems to be bad. There's a tiny aqua dot on the screen
all the time. I wonder if anyone knows how one pixel could get messed up
like that, and if it means the rest of the monitor may have been stressed in
some way that might make it tend to have a shorter life, or fail at some
point.
I could probably swap the monitor from my old 50CT. I haven't looked at
David's website yet, but I'm guessing that this shouldn't be a terribly
difficult process, right? I've taken apart the case in order to check the
CPU in my 50CT... so I've gotten that far. But I guess I have to decide if
my old, very very used monitor... but in great shape, has as good if not
better a life expectancy than the monitor in this 70CT that doesn't look
like it was ever really used much... but has this minor pixel problem with
its monitor.
Thoughts?
Matt
