Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
You can install Linux on a 2.5" IDE HD with a USB-to-IDE external 2.5" HD case or adapter, on any machine with a USB socket and a well-supported USB host chipset (just about any Intel, Via, ATI, ... chipset). The only tricky part is making it bootable, which requires fooling around with the grub.conf or lilo.conf and making it point to /dev/sda or similar.
It may still barf while booting on the target machine, because of LBA/geometry problems - just play around with different grub/lilo options.
FC3/FC4 will run fine even on PII/266, provided you use a lightweight window manager like XFCE.
Edit: That's a mobile coppermine or tualatin, probably ULV (ultra-low voltage). In combination with a 440MX, it's a bulletproof platform.Last edited by linuxguru; 09-18-2008, 08:54 AM.Comment

Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
Well, I really was thinking of just using Windows 2000 on it.
The fact that the onboard video only has 8Mb of memory really limits down my Linux choices and I already have a system running Linux.
I only need the thing to run Steam so I can play Half-Life, Counter strike and run a few other things like Word.Find Nedry!

The most evil sound card I have ever experienced. No drivers for it from windows, and good luck finding working drivers! Same thing was integraded into my old p3 vectra vl600 board, eventually got the original hp vectra vl600 disk from hp.
And you could put XP on that. I have it running on my Dell inspiron 3500 with a p2/333 and 256mb ram, 4gb hard drive. Remember, xp will adjust how much ram it uses to how much you have, that laptop has 256, so xp uses about 120 when it runs. I can see why that picture said not to touch that one spot, thats where the processor is and it has no cooling device what so ever.Last edited by 370forlife; 09-19-2008, 01:40 PM.

Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
I would go with XP if I just had at least 16Mb of video ram. 8Mb I think would just be a tad too little.Originally posted by 370forlife

That's very good heatsink design, big flat area to spread heat out via heat pipes.

Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
This may or may not work but you could try:
Your chipset supports 4 banks of memory.
A 256Mb Low Density Module is 2 bank.
A SO-DIMM slot can handle 4 bank.
If they completed the wiring from slot to chipset for the other banks (even though they were only expecting 2 bank) then it might handle a 4 bank module even though it wasn't advertised.
At the time the laptop was built 512Mb SO-DIMM Modules didn't actually exist much (if at all) in the open market and so wouldn't be mentioned in the old documentation.
It's not unusual for them to build something with contingencies for expected new technologies but to not mention it in the documentation if the technology isn't officially released yet by the time the machine is sold.
If you can find a 4-bank 512Mb module (!I don't even know if they exist in SO-DIMM!) and that wiring is in place the chipset might handle it like two 256Mb modules in to side-by-side slots.
I say this because:
Was a long time ago so I don't remember all the specifics but I worked on a 2 RAM slot laptop where the docs said 256Mb/slot max and I got a single 512Mb to work as long as second slot was left open.

*If* you slot is fully wired,,, a 4 bank module 512Mb module *should* work.

Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
Hmmm, that might be worth testing.
Now the thing would be I would have to find a compatible 512Mb SO-DIMM that if I found out does not work, I can return and just live with a 256.Find Nedry!

Re: Norsat NewsLink laptop battery and charger
Those are both only 2 bank modules.
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspe...E=CT64M64S4W75
If you want to try 512Mb it would likely have to be 4 bank.
If 4 bank even exists it will be rare and hard to find.
256Mb pieces are fairly common and cheap on eBay anymore.
Make sure it's 16 chips on the module and you should be okay.

The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.

Hello Everyone!
I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died....06-28-2025, 02:57 PM -

I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.
but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.
How can I prevent...
