FWIW - I had my (new) L110 filled to capacity with Kingston memory at the same time I bought the computer. After a few months, I started having problems which this list immediately (and correctly) diagnosed as loose memory. I removed it and re-seated it, but the problem would always come back a few weeks/months later. When it eventually went to have a new screen fitted just before the warranty expired, I asked them to look at this. They said they'd clean the contacts with some wonder-fluid - and since then, it's been trouble-free. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Now that you mention it, I was a bit misleading in my previous message when I said that ie6setup.exe downloads ie6wzd.exe - of course it is just a self-extracting archive and the files it put in my temp dir were just extracted from the archive. Or were you asking whether ie6setup.exe downloads any files at all from the net? Of course ie6setup.exe is just a small app to kick off downloading of the relevant files for your machine (or of the whole thing, if you use the right arguments). That's why it is 500 KB - the full install that it downloads is about 50 MB (which it puts in c:\Windows Update Setup Files - but I think it offers you an option for this). Hope that makes a bit more sense now. Of course I have to add the disclaimer that I have only tried using it to download in this way on a Win2000 box - it might not work the same way under Win9x.

Ouch! I was able to boot from floppy, but FDISK does not recognise any fixed disks Not good ... bear in mind just because it says HDC error doesn't necessarily mean the controller is dead, it could well be the libby can't make a head or tail of what the HDC is telling it (which could be caused by anything inputting into the HDC). Swapped HD to another one, able to boot with floppy, formatted replacement HD. Rebooted a couple of times (set active partition to set up parallel port for laplink) using the floppy disk. But now the replacement disk has the same error message I actually had a similar issue with the KEYBOARD controller of my Toshiba Tecra 500CT (actually at the time it wasn't mine but it got written off because of that issue so now its mine ;-) ... every now and again it'll come back but it'll stay dead with almost exactly the same error KBC error, press F1 to continue (which is pretty darn absurd if you ask me). Except in this case I think I know what the issue was, I suspect we may have zapped the PS/2 port (because whatever happens, we can't get a PS/2 mouse working be it plugged directly into the laptop, into the dockstation or whatever). PS/2 external keyboard always works though :-/ Can the Hard Disk controller (which I assume is the nature of the error) replaceable? In the libby I don't think so, especially since its probably integrated into other things. Even in a desktop it generally isn't (I've had a fried primary IDE controller in my computer for a while but its all integrated with a pile of other stuff so I can't fix it, I ended up using an expansion card). Will this have damaged either of the HDs? Well seeing as putting another HDD into it temporarily resolved the issue, I wouldn't discount the possibility. I would however suspect that perhaps the nature of the problem may be more a power issue than anything else - if it was a controller issue then I doubt putting a second hard drive in would fix the issue where if the power was being weird it could take its time killing the hard drive so to speak. When you swap the original drive back in what happens? If you're good with electronics (or brave!) you might want to run the libby's motherboard (without the case but with the screen andthe HDD attached) and see if your voltage rails are stable, especially at the HDD end. Whilst you're at it, go through the board with a magnifying glass and a static-free brush (you can pick one up for a few dollars at your local electronics store, DON'T use a paintbrush or you'll zap something!) and give the boards a good clean ... perhaps a meal that you've shared with your libby has bridged a gap somewhere (if you didn't get the comment, read Perry's post a while back :-). Can I install the HD into a desktop PC to check them? - (if so can someone advise me on cables / voltage issues) You can pick up adapters that'll let you plug a laptop hard drive into a desktop for no more than about $20USD or so. They should pick up as normal IDE hard drives if all is well. P.S You really don't know what you've got until you lose it :-( Hehe know the feeling good luck!
