Re: [M100] M100 Hello!
First off, I just fixed my list preferences so that I'll be able to reply correctly next time but these probably won't show up on the correct thread. Forgive my millenial inexperience with mailing lists. Daryn, thank you! I did run across the DLPilot page, and I actually read yours as well the other night - was that your Tungsten W in the picture? Love the keyboards on those, I used a C for a long time. I'm hoping to hook mine to a Palm M100 personally, partly because I think it would be funny, but because I've got stacks of them lying around and they're kind of awful for actual use. On that note, if anyone else would like a Palm at some point to use as storage, let me know. A few years ago I bought a hundred or more from eBay lots hoping to clean them up and get them into the hands of someone who would use them, but really all they're doing is taking up space the geckos in my garage would rather have for their parties. Anyway, appreciate the reply and I'm excited to learn more about this thing, I can see this quickly becoming my next obsession. Nothing quite like an old portable with good community backing, and I'm impressed with how much is still out there for an oddball computer like this.
Re: [M100] Hello! (John R. Hogerhuis)
VE to get my hands on a copy of DLPilot. I can't seem to track down the author and it seems like that was a project that might've lost interest about the time Palm handhelds became extinct. Would any of you know how I could get a copy? Thanks and nice to meet you guys, it's cool to see a community like this and I'm excited to get into the T100/derivative world.

Re: [M100] M100 repairs (LCD, keyboard)
Thanks. To answer my own question, the 1N4148 diodes worked perfectly. All the regular keys are working. The function keys, not so much. I've squirted lots of electronics cleaner and clicked each switch dozens of times and only a few of the 7 or so broken switches have come back. Right now I dripped some vinegar inside to hopefully break up whatever corrosion might be inside...
