Nick,
Another option is you forgot to remove the soft-plastic spacers between the
harddrive and the libretto-case. Most Travelstar drives are a little bit
larger than the original ones from Toshiba. Using the larger drive without
removing the spacers will give to much stress on the connection between
motherboard and memory-modules. Sometimes the damage is unrepairable,
sometimes removing the spacers will solve the problem. Unfortunaly, my
libretto has died on this situation. So, if anyone has a working
L50-motherboard (perhaps from a Libretto with broken LCD-display...), i'm
interested.
Good luck,
Allard

drive.

the drive into the Libretto and all it does is just sit there instead of
booting up the OS. I am at a total loss, can anyone help me here? I've been
puzzling over this for a couple of weeks now and I am still coming up
blank. Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Please help if possible!
