Libretto 50ct not booting anymore
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 09:18:29 +0100 From: "Baronner, Allard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Libretto 50ct not booting anymore PLEASE HELP! I use this tiny machine so often, the second it went down I missed it! My libretto is not booting anymore. After pushing the powerbutton, the powerLED turns and the harddisk spins up, but that's all. No screen. No beep-signals. No further drive activity. I checked the hard drive in another machine, not a problem. I also removed the additional RAM, but that wasn't the problem either. The strange thing is, when I spank (yeah, I know, but I get frustrated) the Libretto, it sometimes boot into Windows and it's working. But when there's some pressure on the left side (where the harddisk is placed), the machine turns black and the problem starts from the beginning (e.g. no screen, etc.). It looks like a loose contact, but there's nothing I can see. Has anyone a solution? Please help me!

Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 09:02:31 From: "neil barnes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Libretto 50ct not booting anymore Sounds like dodgy memory...try removing then reseating any expanded memory you might have - under the kb on the left, and you might also try reseating the hard drive. If the bios doesn't see the drive, there's a *long* pause before it decides to complain. Plus - load a copy of the bios onto a floppy using a desktop - onto a bootable disk. Try and flash the bios (um, can't remember exact sequence but I think it's hold the backspace key on powerup, with the floppy in the drive) and see if it gets through that. The tech manual isn't helpful - there's a lovely flowchart of things to do, 90% of which end up with 'change the motherboard' :( Neil From: "Baronner, Allard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Libretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Libretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Libretto 50ct not booting anymore Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 00:32:20 -0800 Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 09:18:29 +0100 From: "Baronner, Allard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Libretto 50ct not booting anymore PLEASE HELP!

Re: Libretto Digest #1248
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 11:34:47 From: "neil barnes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Libretto Digest #1248 This works for Mandrake 6.1 and 7.1 with reservations. I'm working from memory here so excuse a certain amount of vagueness... Assuming you have a suitable space on your disc (if you have to move things around to make such a space, then something like partition magic will do it. The cut down version that comes with Caldera2.4 is fine for this if you can accept the limitation in partition size choice) OR format a clean hard drive on the lib with about 700M for dos and the rest unused. Use whatever means necessary to read the CDRom and copy it all to the hard drive. Remember where you put it! You get to format the rest of the disk later as part of the install - don't forget to leave the last 40M or so unused for the hibernation space. Man6: go to the \dosutils and run autobot.bat from dos. It will ask for the location of the mandrake install directory. Man7:go to the \dosutils directory and follow the instructions to make a boot floppy for a hard disc install (it needs to have initrd.hd as the boot image). Then boot from the floppy and type 'install text' and you're away. It wants to know where the mandrake directory is as well. One word of warning - make sure you don't try and load in expert mode - there isn't enough memory on the Lib to do that. One other option - do it all under windows with PhatLinux www.phatlinux.com This uses a huge windows file that pretends to be a linux file system so it's a little slower but it's an easy install as it's all in windows.
