I know this is old but I still get a few hundred hits per month for various files for this system on my site.

Yeah, these aer a nightmare to fix properly. Reball is the only way and they were not designed for this to be anywhere near a routine procedure. Not that it can't be done, it just is not easy or for the faint of heart. Still though I am getting quiet a few DL's of the various files. I'm just...

This is an old thread, While not much in the way of traffic here I was updating my web server and see that there are still some using those xt5000t files. Issues aside this system seems to have lasted some quite a long time.

I am running a Q9200 in a P79xx @ 2.93 GHz. This provides a 260m and 1920x1200. I have experienced no bottle necks at aal for my sue. I have the I wants for upgrading but definately not the I needs.............................

When ever you flash you risk bricking the system. Whether you flash up or down this is true. You should have investigated other avenues before down flashing. If the CPU is stuck it most likely was the fact by flashing the chipset drivers etc couldn't operate ACPI properly. Personally I would...

Yeah, the original site did not include the PDF or a link for it so I was never able to put that up............

Don't know if the 5300 conversion is a good idea or not. The reason is the 5300's 8600Go was suppsoed to be the card version with the major issues. Wierd though the 5000's and the 7600Go were then ones dying readily...................

Yepper, mine though is not on the list...........

Maybe this will do it for you, not sure if that is the same driver you were talking about.......... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-75928-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3996361&os=4063&lang=en Edit; Alot of sites are mentioning drivers for the...

I'd do the same but I raided two 160GB 7200 drives. If the machine fails there would be no way to retrieve the data. I'd have to break the Raid0 first etc. Guess I'm too lazy knowing the machine will die at some point.

This is why I haven't passed mine down. It seems that at some point they will die. I can't hand it down in good faith knowing it is a machine destined to fail.

A really long shot if you want to try it. The Wireless has been known to conflict with the viideo, try removing it and at power up press and hold the power button until it shuts off to remove the wireless from cmos. Boot without the wireless card to see if it returns to normal. Like I said a...

Did the cmos reset work for your issue with the wireless card?

I am glad I got a new laptop. While mine still boots I don't trust it at all. It was nice while it lasted but oh well, live and learn as they say. At least I got my 18 months of normal use before upgrading. I just can't alow someone to inherit it...............

To reset cmas when you power up while bios is attempting to initialize press and hold the power to stop the bios from full post. This clears the cmos and what was need to get the persistent esources of the atheros card cleared.......... Edit; I had to do this to get my card to work...
