Hi Everybody, It's been awhile since I first mentioned this problem but this week I finally tackled it and it was a challenge. The manual and the part from Ebay helped. Thanks to all for advise and suggestions. T43 works great. The old one had two wires broken on it. Pretty much had to take most of ...

if your powering port is actually damaged (it can happen) and you need a new one, I have an extra I can sell you for cheap (like $5).

Thanks for the youtube reference. I checked it out. Awesme! I will tackle the job but not for some time since other matters need attention first. Video definitely will be helpful.

Hi, Thanks for the quick replies. The post I am refering to is "How to Fresh Install Windows XP Pro without a Recovery CD" i the OS section of posts.

Hi,
How can I get a copy of the BCD Utility that is required by one

post are not longer active.
Thanks,
