Re: [LIB] USB powered external HD
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 15:28:48 +0100 From: T i m [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] USB powered external HD Hi All, Possibly better late than never but I bought a USB external drive bay (eBay) and stuck the 4.3G drive that was in my Compaq Presario 1260 (before I upgraded it to 20G) in the bay. I then tried it in the Compaq but it looked like it couldn't cope (LED indicator flashing red / yellow and sounding like a power issue). However this USB bay has two USB connectors (the extra one just picks up more power) but the Compaq has only one USB port ;-( I then tried it on an unpowered USB hub on m y PC with similar results. The Acer Aspire 1353XC (I was sent as a replacement for the dropped Compaq ;-( ) was able to power the external drive on just one of it's 4 USB 2 ports ;-) Shame the Acer went back a day later because of a faulty Ethernet port .. ;-( Ho hum .. All the best .. T i m p.s. I *might* actually get round to fitting the 4.3G drive in the 50CT soon ... ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I don't think there will be any fuse blown; if there isn't enough current the disk just won't spin up. Both of my USB-enabled laptops have no problem powering them; only the PCCard USB 2.0 doesn't have enough power by itself because of the PCCard limits. Teach me not to read further down .. (I posted a reply to an earlier mail as I though that thread had finished ..) Sound like the one I bought branded IBM Travelstar Inside and comes with a little leather pouch? I've only tacked my drive in to test as I'm not sure how positively it's held in there? I might also make up a mica shim to go under the drive (might use the ones out of the 50CT .. ) and some foam or similar to hold the drive back onto the connector? All the best ..

Re: [LIB] Major Boot problems with 50ct

Here's the deal-dropped the little guy and a small piece popped off the back. I then booted it up and everything was fine for a few days Wanted to check processor speed-followed take apart procedure on adorable libretto. Put it back together and booted-nothing but a brief flash. Then, nothing. Sooo, took apart, put back together-nothing. Power lights light, hard drive clicks-lcd dead. Connections all tight I'm distraught-wife will kill me if I buy another one.HELP!! Sean Hey Sean... Tell us a little more about what the system does now when it attempts to boot. From what you wrote, it seems like the screen doesn't display anything at all at boot. If that's the case it may be a bad sign, though there's a chance reseating its cable(s) may get it going. If there's an error message displayed, sometime reseating the extended RAM card can get things going. Though when you say 'Connections all tight, it sounds like you've already gone the reseating route. I actually had a fuse blow on my L70 MB, and Neil had me solder some fuse wire across the case of the tiny component to get the LCD to light up again. Maybe he'll chime in here if it sounds like a possibilty. It's always a possibility, but the first check is - as Matt says - is to make sure all the connections are tight - the connector to the screen isn't always easy to get in properly. The second test is - if you have one of the extender backs or can borrow one - is to check whether anything comes out of the external video port. Is there a backlight on the screen? (You'll see that at the edges if the main screen is black) Or is there no backlight but a faint image - sometimes a strong light will show it. More Input!
