Re: New to me MK5

Thanks for the info ADOR. The charger for the CF-29 got kind of hot and didn't seem to be charging it. Further reading I found that some people use ThinkPad charges. Luckily I have an old Thinkpad. The charger worked great. Appears that the battery is holding a charge too. I did buy a LIND charger f...

New to me MK5

I'm back! Picked up a CF-19 MK5. It was cheap but I see I have to change some things on it. The first thing I noticed is it has Windows 10 on it (500gb HD 16gb RAM). From what I read that might not be a good thing. I would like to keep it. The I noticed that there was a little clunk when you would t...

Re: Bunch of questions

I added 1gb of RAM today. It is running fine on Xubuntu 16.04.2 now. I'll have to checkout the AntiX MX. I do need a door and screws for the hard drive bay. The hinges are still on the case. Thanks! PM sent.

Re: Bunch of questions

I was using Xubuntu 8.04.1 the first time on a disk. The second time I put Xubuntu 16.04.2 on a USB stick. It ran SLOW! Kept hanging up. How did it run with Ubuntu 10.10?

Re: Bunch of questions

First time on something other than the bios with the TB. Running an old xubuntu cd disk and able to connect to the internet. I ordered a caddy and a 1000gb harddrive with XP on it. Now all that's left is to get is a door and screws for the harddrive bay. :) Interesting note, my Think Pad R50 won't c...

Re: Bunch of questions

This one was free so I can't beat that. I did think about taking the cheap way out and go with the stock 80gb just to save it. I did run across a CF-52 for $300 ready roll. Haven't looked at the CF-30s. I guess I need compare the two and see how they rate. The CF-52 doesn't look as tough as the CF-3...

Bunch of questions

Hi I'm restoring a Panasonic CF-29LTQGZBM, in his welcome letter Robert said that it might be able to support 2gb of RAM but to check with others here to make sure. I bought a correct charger and cord first to make sure that it would boot up. It did. Had the correct date and time on it too. Now I ne...
