Hi all, Seeing as no-one has brought out a better replacement yet, and I was starting to get nervous when my L1050's screen started "shimmering" a bit, I have bought a back-up - a second-hand L1100. It arrived on Tuesday, and I just got around to setting it up - something which proved pretty easy - I just created a ghosted back-up of the current Japanese config on the 1100 in case I wanted to access it later, and then replaced it with a ghosted copy of my 1050 (running win98se with 98lite making it more usable). After starting the 1100 up, it asked for the drivers for the couple of different peripherals (smart media, larger screen, modem and camera), and everything is running fine. The only problem is that the fan seems to be on almost all the time. I did see a "new hardware" dialog flash up for an ACPI fan, but as I didn't have the drivers on yet I just cancelled out of it, and it hasn't reappeared at start-up (or appear in the device manager). The Toshiba power configuration utility I use seems to give the fan as an option - "on" or "auto" (and the other options it gives all work - ie. Sound/modem/usb on, monitor brightness etc). I have also changed the cooling settings in the BIOS to "Quiet" rather than "performance", but the fan still is on relatively frequently, even in a standard DOS session. Anyone have any ideas? cheers, Simon ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
