I was wondering how you determined that the dead screen problem in your/my L70 was due to a blown fuse... and how you found that fuse. ... I recall you had me test to see if the resistance across the fuse on the L70 was zero, and then solder a fuse wire across the top of the case. The L70 is still going after all these years. I may just pull the L110 out and see if I can spot any fuses in it. Um, basically that was what I did - I looked for things in fuse-style packages - look for quite a large package and markings like '3.15' or similar. Neil

I haven't yet taken the 70 apart to look at the fuse we worked on. But it seems it looked exactly the same as a number of other components. White case with silver metal caps on either end. The 110 MB has dozens of components that look like that. And it seems the 70 did too, tho' my memory is always pretty bad. I don't know much about circuit testing. Would any such component that measures 0 ohms across it be bad? I know some resisters can measure near zero, yet still are what the circuit calls for. Will have to take the 70 apart. I now have the original 100 MB running in the place of the dead 110 MB, and am wondering if clocking it to 233 might be more stable than when I had it at 266. It was always shutting itself down at 266 due to overheating. W2K is obviously impossible to run at 166. Matt __ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

[LIB] Small Keyboard
Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 15:30:33 -0500 From: Tony Oresteen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Small Keyboard A while back Ben asked: I want to replace my desktop PC's keyboard with one the size of a 70CT one. Does anyone know of any available. On the net, searching for 'mini' keyboards lead to PDA ones or full size laptop ones. Or would it be easy to convert a libby keyboard to use P/2 connections? Cheers, Ben Well, I found one. Cyberguys sells a USB mini keyboard item 138 0371 for $32. http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?T1=138+0371dept=search=child= SIze wise it measures 8.75 x 4.

Other devices, like resistors, may or may not be good. Usually you are measuring more than just the resistor when you place your meter leads across the resistor - you also get parallel paths from other components connected to the resistor. This is another case where a copy of the schematic would be extremely helpful. I sent a letter off to Toshiba support a few weeks ago requesting the schematic, but received no reply. Anyone have a contact inside Toshiba?

Other devices, like resistors, may or may not be good. Doh!! Yeah... I meant to write... if the resistance across the fuse is infinite, then it's blown. Are you familiar with what fuses look like on the 50/70 100/110 MBs Richard? I just opened up my 70 and found the fuse that Neil had me work on is quite large compared to similar parts on the 110 MB. It's one of two such components on the 70 that's visible without removing the heat sync. The 110 has nothing that looks similar, though I haven't pull the heatsink on it to peak underneath. The fuse from the 70 wouldn't even fit under a heatsink. There are about a dozen similar components on the 110 MB that are about 1/3 the size of that 70 fuse, and quite a number even smaller. It doesn't seem any of those would be a fuse. But I'd think a fuse would look physically different, unless there are 1-2 dozen fuses on the board. That doesn't seem likely. Usually you are measuring more than just the resistor when you place your meter leads across the resistor - you also get parallel paths from other components connected to the resistor. That's where my circuit testing abilities become severely handicapped. Measuring one component on its own I can deal with. Components within circuits on the other hand [EMAIL PROTECTED](*%!
