My A30 does not seem to recognize the battery and won't/can't charge the battery. When you click onto the Battery Maximiser Gauge and select battery information it shows ERROR in the battery battery remaining percentages. Has anyone had this problem? Is this an internal issue with the A30, a softwar...

Thanks for the info. It was all correct. I loaded the updated from IBM and installed the power manager and batter maximizer and adjusted the settings and VIOLA its now a 1.13 GHz....of course I have read about upgrading that too <grin>

I just purchased an A30 that was supposed to be a 1.13 Ghz. When I check the System Info, and when I ran BELARC it showed the CPU to be a 733 Mhz. I have no reason to believe the previous owner switched anything, but wanted something over 1Ghz, and since I thought the slowest A30 was a 933 Mhz, Iwan...

I recently purchased what was supposed to be 1 GHz. When I ran Belarc Advisor it stated the processor was 700 mhz with clock speed of 100 MHz. When I ran PCPITSTOP it said 700/1000 MHz, something I had never seen before then under system details is stated: Brand/Model Intel Pentium III Nominal Clock...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!!! Ok, I have taken every removable item off one at a time, and put it back on one at a time, but still NOTHING, even when I remove the memory stick it doesn't give the series of beeps that it supposed to and DID prior to the board replacements. One thing I noticed is that a...

New board arrived today. I installed it, When I push the power button, it lights up the power button just as before and does nothing else, JUST A BEFORE. The HD is spinning but is not booting up the system, and there is no beeps or video. ANY IDEAS??? Thanks Chris

I checked the USB connections onto the board and they seemed very straight. With respect to the cycling of the power switch, so that I am clear, you cycle the switch with no power connected? I saw those on ebay, Would getting the 1.8 GHz board bet better or does it not make any difference since the ...

I tried to find it on-line and I only could find the Hardware Maintenance Manual on the IBM site. It only lists the exact system board that originally came with the computer, doesn't give any real crossreference. Mine is a 1.4 and the new one is a 1.8 so it only shows only what models they came in f...

When I run the CPU-Z program it shows the 512 of SDRAM that I have installed under the Memory tab, but when I look at the SPD tab it only shows the #1 slot of memory present and the # 2 slot empty. Shouldn't both sticks of memory be listed? Thx

My A31 will not boot up, just get the green light. When I research the IBM site for parts I can not find the specific system board for an A31 1.6GHz that is model 2653, let alone a 2653-BU3 so I am not sure how to cross reference. On Ebay I have located a sytem board that is P4-M 1.8GHz M7 32Mb. The...

Ok, when I try the FAT 32's they first give me the Windows 98 screen, THEN it goes into the Window's ME screen and just hangs. I guess now I remember why I have they system commander, I forgot that I "upgrade" if you could call it that to ME. I tried to see if I could access anything in the safe mod...

I have a 385XD - PII 266 that I have not used for a few years. There are some documents on there that I am needing to retreive. This afternoon I turned it on to boot it up. It is loaded with V.Com's System Commander Deluxe (I didn't load it on there, a friend did, but can't remember why now) Be-that...
