new drivers for LE1600

[robert.access]

Recently I try to install on my LE1600 drivers from LE1700 and they run sucesfuly from days by now.
The following drivers are 100% compatible:
- motion dashboard
- virtual businnes card
- motion dataguard
- and omnipass. Here I try to update my omnipass ver 5.00.13 to 5.00.53 and they don't allow me to do it, so I uninstall my old version (registered) and I put the new one (30 day trial). Of course I have been unhappy with that and I have replace setup.exe from old version to new one and... voila, new omnipass ver 5.00.53 no trial.

The features of these drivers:
- the screen light will dimm automaticaly after 15, 30.... sec of inactivity (user defined).
- new hdd monitor on system tray and battery health.
- aded virtual bussines card on bootscreen in case of your tablet it's lost.
- better control of security and settings, etc.

Today I will try TMP, button and graphic drivers (modded of course) and I will let you know.

Sorry for my bad english.

They also work on LS800 which is great, like the new features

I tried upgrading my registered Omnipass 5.00.13 and it did not work with replacing the setup.exe file from the registered to the full version. I need that virtual business card app.

Robert,

Is the Os XP or Vista.

Kev...

[nuclear]

For me its Vista. All drivers work fine except I was unable to register my Omnipass. So I had to reinstall 5.00.13

[techieee]

does motion dataguard actually work on LE1600 meaning does the LE1600 have an accelerometer for the hardisk?

[robert.access]

nuclear,
please give me your email address to send you the omnipass if you want.

kevjey,
my os it's vista

techieee,
motion dataguard it's visibile in dashboard but I don't see if LE1600 have an accelerometer for the hardisk.

Thanks email sent. Also I would like to show you all the 2GB RAM Upgrade i did to my LE1600. Now it has a total of 2.5GB RAM. I also upgraded it to 300mbps Wireless N. I also just added a 16GB CF SSD. http://www.sparklan.com/product_details.php?prod_id=174

Enjoy. I think our LE1600's are going to be awesome.
Oh yea dont forget to apply AS5 to your processors!

Oh yes i am going to test Unreal Tournament 3 on my fully upgraded LE1600.

[kevjey]

Wow, the dashboard is driving my CPU wild 100% constantly, had to remove and install the old version.

Nuclear,

Very interested in your upgrades and what is AS5.

Kev...

[nuclear]

Oops almost forgot to post the pictures of the 2GB upgrade. Anyways as you all know there is 512MB onboard fixed memory and 1 expansion slot. I took out the 1GB RAM out of the expansion slot and put in a 2GB DDR2 660mhz stick. But in the bios and vista it only shows 2GB for some reason.... >.< it should show 2.5GB since +512mb onboard :S Anyways i also upgraded to wireless N. Weird thing is that Wireless N card has 3 antenna connectors. Our regular abg cards have only 2 connectors. still i figured out where the AUX and MAIN cables go so the wireless n card works but i never really checked it out with a wireless n router. it claims its speed of 300mbps really fast wifi. i get the white colour indicator light and everything is functional. atheros drivers etc etc.

AS5 is Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound applied on the processors and then the heatsink is placed on it. It keeps low temperatures. A very good solution to keeping the LE1600 a bit cooler.

[nuclear]

Ah i got a reply from Sparklan the wireless n card manufacturer. they said you can plug in the two antennas at any of the 3 connectors and the card will still work. you dont need 3 antennas.

[kevjey]

nuclear,

Does the extra ram help vista at all, i am still getting a bit of mouse lag when various operations are going on.

Kev...

[robert.access]

nuclear,

What about video memory? still 128 Mb???

Who know what is the biggest processor supported by Compal motheboard in LE 1600????
\Thx

[nuclear]

Yes it is a little hard to upgrade video memory. But you will need to desolder the builtin Intel graphics chip with a Weller iron. Then you can put something good in its place. A lot of stuff is on the market for replacement.
Processor upgrade would be nice. I dont think it can support Core 2 Duo or Centrino Duo Core. I think it can just go max on Centrino probably a 2.6 ghz but then you will need a better cooling solution too.
Sorry but i will have to open my LE1600 again to give you a proper answer. I got those ribbons connected with a lot of difficulty. So i need some time to take pictures etc. Oh yea and the omnipass didnt work. I am sticking with 5.00.13

[nuclear]

Alright i opened the le1600 again to its processor. Just a warning the processor cannot be upgraded and neither can the video card. You need special processor desoldering equipment to do this work which will probably cost a lot of $$$. The video chip cannot be upgraded either. Both are soldered onto the board. The RAM is also soldered but easily upgradable to 2GB if you can desolder it :P So now you can have a total of 4GB RAM if you have desoldering skills.

Hi Guys,

can you tell me if newer 1700 drivers (video) allow for Mirror Display? Currently, I went back to XP for that single feature and would love to get back to vista but need Mirror display to work when connecting to external monitor/projector.
Thanks--Sanca.

[imported_admin]

You can't mirror the display by opening the Motion dashboard?

Sanca- I will try the new drivers. I run Vista and I too cannot get the tablet to mirror, all I can do is extend it. I will let you know.

[Sanca]

Admin--no, it does not give me that option when in Vista. On Xp, yes.
BStoker--thanks. I am dying to go back to Vista but would love that function since I present quite a bit. If ther driver does not fix that, wonder if there is other software that will allow us to do that? thanks again for checking.

[Sanca]

Hi,

Any update on Mirror Display using the 1700 drivers? Thanks for checking into this for me. I want to go back to Vista!

[Bstoker]

the 1700 video drivers will not install for me on my 1600. There is a newer Vista driver for the 1600 out there but I havent had a chance to try it out yet.

[Sanca]

I went back to vista and tried the 1700 dashboard drivers and now I have the clone options. I also sent support an email and they confirm that clone feature works with 1600. give the dashboard for 1700 a try and let me know.

"Oh yes i am going to test Unreal Tournament 3 on my fully upgraded LE1600."

How did that work out for you then? I don't think the LE1600 really has the graphical power for that. I'd love to try getting World of Warcraft going on it though :D

[nuclear]

And how much could you upgrade it to? I dont play Unreal tournament 3 on my le1600.

[Milowerx]

What memory stick brand/type did you use to upgrade the 1600? I've only found one place that sells a 2gb stick and that was Newegg. Most places I've found sell 2 one gb sticks which will equal 2gb. Obviously I don't want that. Know where I can get a 2gb stick?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :biggrin1:

What specific card did you use to upgrade your wifi?

[cacinok]

neophyte question here. i'm assuming the drivers for the 1700 only work in vista, is this correct? or will it work w/ xp?

[bozz]

can you guys confirm how much faster the le1600 runs with added ram?

for 2.5gb.

interested in this but thought i read that the machine doesn't utilize it for some reason.

also how hard is it to de-solder? if it works why not go for the full 4gb?
