[H] Toshiba Satellite 3000 inverter card
Recently I was working on my sister's Satellite 3000 notebook which had lost its display. Apparently it starting out losing its display after working for several minutes - and then got to the point of a black screen on bootup. I thought that it might be a software problem or a dead backlight. I searched the Net extensively and only accidentally came upon a site in which numerous emails described many Toshiba notebook models with the same black display problem due to a faulty connector on the inverter card. http://217.115.198.3/content/topic/13841/?o=0 See the email dated Dec 16-03 by Bob Pfeiffer for the fix (the problem may recur). Apparently Toshiba has offered a free fix for some models with this problem. Thought this might be helpful to someone on the list. Best wishes Robert Turnbull, Toronto, Canada
[H] activation of XP questions
Really don't want to have to go through the re-activation on XP - have new CPU (but both are AMD 939 - one is just a bit faster though), Motherboard, video card, and memory // with motherboard will also be new NIC. So I could stage this install if it would help. Before I start, would it help if I uninstalled the NIC before the swap? Ok I can start with the new motherboard and use the old cpu, current cd/dvd drives, same amt of memory amount ( I guess its not brand just amount will install 1 stick of 1 gig not 2 @ 512) , obviously use the old hard drive. According to my understanding of reactivation scheme - to start with it will be new video New nic, IDE controller serial number So my number is only 3 and I am thinking that my cpu change should only account for 1 not 2 points that I might include that in the first iteration. Then in the course of the week add the additional memory, swap a DVD-ram for the cd writer and DVD player. I have seen no references that one has to wait any predetermined amount of time between updates. Am I missing something? Any other suggestions? Thanks
Re: [H] activation of XP questions
Yeah--just put all of your shit in at once and tell MS you upgraded. Seems like a whole lot less work than all that crap.

Re: [H] activation of XP questions
anyone of those alone could trigger re activation. mine did with just a video card :-} At 05:23 PM 9/10/2005, rls Poked the stick with: Really don't want to have to go through the re-activation on XP - have new CPU (but both are AMD 939 - one is just a bit faster though), Motherboard, video card, and memory // with motherboard will also be new NIC.

Yep. Just do it once, call MS if you have to.
