1) My 'new' 70CT seems to have a dead CMOS battery? (CMOS > F1 error on
switch on).
If these batteries are rechargeable how long should it take to get back
up to speed?
overnight at the extreme.
Oh, ok ta ;-(
Otherwise, it's just too old and dead.
I know what the old bit feels like!
get a replacement from any authorized toshiba repair center or parts dealer.
eg impactcomputers.com
I believe they are in the States but think I've found what looks like a
reasonable supplier in the UK (£9.99 + p&p) ?
2) I used to have my 50CT in WiFi but I think I've lent out the WiFi
card I used to use (A Netgear MA401). ;-(
Would some kind soul remind me what cards are also suitable please and
ideally support WPA (don't think the MA401 does).
A search through the libretto mailing list will do if nobody knows off hand -
I've searched through the nearly 10,000 messages I have in this Libretto
folder (the first thing I did actually) and haven't found anything
specific as yet. I'll look again though ...
I recall some problem with it not having cardbus slots and many cards not
runniing well on the older 16-bit L50 slots.
That's my understanding also. It also seems there is a physical
'interlock' re the 'L' shape of the side / end of the card, not allowing
many (inappropriate presumably) cards to be inserted at all.
Finding the right card was what I hoped would be easy via a kind soul
here (the next step would be seeing if I could still actually get hold
of one .. eBay etc). If it works (worked) for you then it's gotta be
good enough for me. ;-)
All the best and thanks for your time and reply David.
