Hello All, I should clarify, CPU-Z is reporting that the processor core speed, FSB, and Bus speed keeps changing. It keeps changing as the progam is scanning. I found that there was Kahlon memory in the unit and was recently installed. I removed the memory and re-installed the original IBM memory bu...

Hello to all, A friend has a 600 that has a cpu speed problem. CPU-Z reports the speed rising and dropping regularly. This 600 has an upgraded 300Mhz cpu, but this still does the same thing with the original 266Mhz cpu. The FSB speed changes also with the cpu. It goes from a high of 290 to a low of ...

Thanks, JD, but I've checked to make sure that the Lan connection settings are turned off. I forgot to mention that I am using dialup, so that was one of the first things I checked. I'm also running McAfee's Firewall Plus and I've checked the settings on that as well and they have not changed.

I've got Internet Explorer 6 with SP1 installed and running Windows ME on an upgraded (PIII) 770Z. The problem is that the browser will not bring up the initial page whenever I got to a website. When I go to a site, either my homepage or a favorite, it will wait until I get the "Server not found" ge...

I got the L2 cache working last night. Even though Powerleap CPU control panel doesn't say anything about Windows ME, it does work with it and enabled the cache. Just wanted everyone with the same or similar situation to know.

Hello to all, Well, the upgraded 770z (PIII 450Mhz, 256M ram) was working fine until I upgraded the operating system from 98SE to Windows ME. The upgrade was due to 98SE started a nasty habit of crashing regularly. The problem is the Powerleap cache utility stopped working for the L2 cache and will ...

I have a 770Z that has a P3-450 upgrade installed and all bios upgrades installed as well and is running Win98SE. I tried to install the Windows XP upgrade and the installation provided me with a lengthy list of items that were not compatible with the WinXP system. I stopped the install to figure ou...

Hello to all, I have a 770Z that upgraded to a PIII 500Mhz system. Currently it is running well with Win98SE installed. I have WinXP upgrade available but I cannot install without the bios upgrade. I've tried 3 different batteries but they all will not take a charge (they are old ones that I have bo...

I'm trying to find a way to upgrade the bios on my 770z without a good battery. There is a way to do the 600 series but the file names for the 770x and 770z are different. I'm pretty sure that it will not work the same way. If anyone has an idea or knows of a way to do this, please let us know. Than...

Well, I tried to do the bios update and the machine still requested a charged battery. Anyone been successful performing an update with a dead battery? If so, how was it done?

Thanks.

I asked this earlier and didn't get a response so I'll try again.

Is is possible to perform a bios upgrade without a good battery on a 770z?

Hello to All, I have a question concerning the Selectadock. I noticed that the Selectabase and dock combination seems to block the exhaust of a 770 notebook. Right now I have upgraded my 770Z to a PIII-450 and am running into a slight overheating problem. Does the docking system have it's own fan sy...

Hello to All,

Is it possible to update the bios on a 770Z without a good battery? I have seen postings about doing this without a battery for the 600 series, but not for the 770.

If it is possible, how do you do it?

Thanks.

Hello All, I just successfully upgraded my 770Z to a PIII 450 with a single pc100 128MB stick of memory. I have another stick of memory that is pc100 but Easy Setup keeps saying that it is a bad stick. After this upgrade, will Easy Setup claim that every stick that is put into the slots are bad? I'v...

Thanks for your help and past postings. I now have a 770Z with a PentiumIII 450 Mhz processor and is running 128MB base at 100Mhz. I also did the bios change that was posted in the past so now I get a clean boot into Windows 98SE as well as the Powerleap utility to re-enable the on die cache. I'll b...

I went ahead and restored the 770Z back to original and it works. I'm still checking on the memory I used. Also, since I have found that other persons have had problems using the Celeron for this upgrade, I now have a PIII-450, non-speedstep cpu that I will try. I also got another low density 128Mb,...

I tried to upgrade my 770Z using a Celeron 500Mhz cpu. I also changed the system memory (the hard to reach one) to a 128MB PC100 SODIMM. When I attempted to boot up the system, all I got was one long beep and a few, 2 or 3, short beeps, and then nothing. No screen or any other indications that it wa...

Hello to All, Been following the upgrade saga on the 770Z machines and 770. I have noticed that several persons have said that the Celeron 500 will not work in the 770Z and others say that is does. I tried the Celeron 500 upgrade and installed a 128MB pc100 chip on the system board (the hard to reac...
