May have to do with your rusty contacts (below in your post). Sometimes when reviving from hibernation, I get a Linux mouse pointer in the form of a .5 X .5" square with a vertical raster of white lines. I have to power off the Lib to mend this. > --- Philip Nienhuis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: <snip> > > But then of course, you probably don't have much SW > > installed yet, like: > > - McAfee AV : ..<snip> > > I never install virus software do that it sets itself > at boot to do a hundred different functions.

The wiring harness in the 100CT <snip> I rarely if ever fool around inside my Lib. John might have an answer? BTW how can I unmount the bottom cover of my Lib110? I want to remove the HD spacers.
