| Now it wont go any higher than 65%  |
|

| Did you let it go completely dead? I did the same thing and it got lower. Mine went completely dead, dead.
Then charged it up and 57% to 79% I will try and get my original batteries fixed. If it works, I will test it and send it to you and trade out.
I will replace with the exact model and make of batteries Samsung 18650/20 and 22.
S/F,
CEYA!

| Hmm... I can step charge it. (e.g. wait till it claims to have stopped charging. Disconnect from mains, use for a few seconds, reconnect mains. It goes up about 2% each time). Does this mean anything? |

| well.. it probably isn't a real fix, just an example, the lg phenom express batteries liked to die after a while but you could revive them for a while with this method. sadly that was temporary. but try it, we'll see ..  |

| It will only take it up to 72%, so not a permenant fix.
Also having trouble with an external display. How do you get a native resolution? I tried altering the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\MQ200 and was able to distort the extenral display (i've restored it to defaults now ), and some interesting info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceddk40/html/cxcondisplaydriverarchitecture.asp (about half way down, the registry is commented ). Any ideas? In the long run an application / control panel applet would be a good idea. Edited by chazco 2006-09-09 7:09 AM

| Some progress is better than none. I am going to let mine go down again and hopefully I get better results.

| Has anyone used their internal recorder and found a wayto printed from it.

| Theres a voice recorder built into the Smartbook. Use explorer and browse to \Windows. Run "waverec" to start recording and run it again to stop recording. The file is saved to \. Audio quality isnt too bad. |
|

|
| thanks but it sucks. only 5 seconds. Sound is good to go. recording sucks.

| Now the battery wont charge about 66%. It was at 66% this morning, was left on the table (off and no accessories) and is now at 59%. Theres no chance of a battery rebuild (i've no cash), and if it keeps going at this rate it'll have no power in a few days. Any ideas?
btw... C:Amie, you've had the devices open, how is the GPRS module connected, and are there any other visible connection locations?

| The GPRS connects at the top left of the motherboard it has a clip-on socket for the antenna line which runs up the screen hinge into the back of the screen and a ribbon to connect it to the motherboard itself. Why do you ask?
Have you actually time tested this battery? |

I have reason to suspect it may be possible to add bluetooth/wifi, but i'm not certain yet. There is evidence building up to support the theory.
The battery lasts for about 1-2 hours of use over a day i think (thats with no GPRS ). |

| The pc card / cf chipset drivers in ROM you mean? |
|
| |
|
| Nope, i'd seen suggestions of a version of the Siemens module that used USB connectivity, and the Book digital site says that OEMs can customise the Smartbook to allow internal wifi and/or bluetooth as well as GPRS which gave some weight to the argument. Of course, i may be completely wrong
Any ideas for the battery? Its barely useable without it |
