If the walls are painted greenish then that could be the explanation, otherwise it *looks* greenish. The upper portion of the screen doesn't look dark enough. Just a guess.

Capacity. You could generate the voltage but the capacity would be small. Maybe the LE1600 would run for an hour or so. I think you would (ultimately) find it a frustrating and impractical...

Hello,

Just received a Fujistu Q550 62GB. The 62GB also comes with an extended battery. Charging it up now. Review to follow later.

I also have a 256GB 2.5" SATA SSD -- Samsung 470.

If not outside, try reducing the brightness further to, say, 25% and see if you can adjust to it. I find that many LCD panels are like flamethrowers to the eyes due to the brightness. I generally...

The LCD backlight eats up a lot of power. If it's at maximum brightness try turning the brightness down and let the eyes adjust. WiFi at low power or turned off when not needed?

Still have to install XP Tablet Edition. (Even if it looks the same on screen) XP Tablet Edition goes beyond XP Pro. Available from OEMs. I *think* Motion Computing still sell these.

Windows...

Also, if one can find one, there is a connector by Libmart (Korea) AN-219 1.8" 50-pin IDE to ZIF. It fits 5mm and 8mm height 1.8" drives. It does *not* add volume to the drive. I have one...

The LE1700 uses the SigmaTel (IDT) sound chip -- OK sound, but nothing to write home about. The LS800 is worse.

Haven't been able to determine if the LED screen is IPS or what type of SSD it uses (or if the storage is soldered on). I have read that it has an option of 64GB. Windows 7 will eat up a fair...

Interesting because, when I had an M1400, I was able to install a 250GB Western Digital IDE drive.

My LE1700 uses the L7400 processor (64-bit) and with 2x2GB sticks not all 4GB memory appears as being usable.

Are changes possible through the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator? Which OS? What if booting to safe mode?

The problem could be twofold: 1) the connector is faulty 2) The solder connections to the board are faulty. If the solder connections have developed hairline cracks, reflowing the solder might help.

The standard battery appears to be sealed (not using screws). I suppose there *could* be screws hidden underneath the rubberized covering. If disassembled, I suspect one could still run into the...

It could be the ribbon cable. The cable is not meant to be flexed very often. If one had a voltmeter one could test the continuity of the drive connector to the pins. Given that the part is fairly...

It might be interesting to investigate the circuit board of the "expired" battery. Perhaps read the data sheets on the ICs on the board. Lifting a pin or cutting a trace could help achieve the...

My LE1700 was installed with a Novatel Wireless EV-DO.

The Hardware ID is USB\VID_1410&PID_2120&MI_00

Best regards,

Nice unboxing. It would be informative to see the LCD screen from extreme viewing angles. I afraid that many of these tablets will use inferior TN LCD technology as opposed to the superior IPS...

Were the instructions at the link in the previous post red? There are no GM855 drivers for Win7 so a hack is necessary. I would follow the supplied directions at the link *to the letter*. I ran...

Does the memory check out OK?

Any abnormalities in the BIOS menu?

What if the shield is removed?

The M1400:
Can be had for not much money and has a lot of upgrade possibilities. An inexpensive IPS panel as well! Weaknesses of the M1400 would be: older processor, slower memory, slow video...

LCD backlight brightness is a huge drain on the power supply. There are several options to manage brightness such as auto dim after a configured amount of time.

Was the second battery pack...

Just to cover all possibilities, the power supply is a Motion Computing power supply with original plug, correct? The plug should fit quite snugly and the cable assembly should be permanently...

Is it truly brand new? I would be very careful of buying a "new", new-old-stock, or "slightly used" batteries on ebay. The battery can go bad sitting on a shelf with no use after a few years. I...

That's a tough call. I really haven't been able to determine the origin of the screen (yet) "Max-Vu" is a trademark of Via Optronics in Portland for a glass bonding process, White Electronic Designs...
