Well, I have been having the dead strip issue (M1300) since last October/November of 2004. I tried using the remedies posted and have had success. The dead strip issue was not a concern until March and I couldn't resolve the dead strip problem. Just this week I decided that I would upgrade my HD to 80 gb (Fijutsu) and 1 gb of RAM (Crucial)and call in for a RMA to fix it. After reinstalling original software, I turned it on to test it and by gosh..............no dead strip anymore.

Has this happen to anyone else? Now I don't know if I should send it.

Also, I know people are having trouble reinstalling software on an upgraded HD but I had no problems at all.

Your input would be helpful.

If it ain't broke (any more), don't fix it.

I had the same problem with my M1200. My supplier, Ergo Computing, recommended reseating the hard drive connector. Perhaps when you installed your new hard drive this affected the same result.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, ultimately I had to replace my base unit and recently I have had problems again. It has been 2 and a half years since my initial purchase so I'm thinking I may make the leap to a new LE1600.
