Hello,
i have a manual but its a printed version and i don=B4t want to scan it ;-). Well anyways, the dismantling of the LTE Lite is not so easy for the beginner and tricky. You have to disassemble the LTE Lite completely to change the CMOS battery. Find instructions he www.geocities.com/compaqltelite Attention: The display cable can get broken very easy during this procedure. So, take care. If you have more question please ask me. European |

Hi Mc,
if you want to replace the main battery then you can take a look at ebay (best solution, also for buying accessories for this model such as the dockingstation or the QuickConnect Adapter (better then the big dockingstation) etc.) or you can buy a brand new one from a supplier (but the prices here are maybe 300% then your LTE Lite is worth today). Try "LTE Lite Battery" in google: http://www.google.com/search?q=LTE+Lite+Battery The Modem probably works. If you have luck then it is the 14.4 K FaxModem ("SpeedPAQ"; the fastest internal Modem ever made for this laptop). If not, then it is an older one such as the 2400 Modem...not really useful for todays standards, but if you like Lynx or Fax then it is ok. If you have at least 8-12 MB RAM you can install Windows 95 on it. This will help you to activate the internal Modem and other peripherals. See you later, European |

Thanks again, I'll look into the Quick connect to see if I can hook up a cd
rom. I'm not sure how I would install win 95 unless I can network somehow? mc wrote in message oups.com...

Hi,
well there are several options here. If you are going to open the laptop you can take the harddisk and connect it with your desktop computer (with a 2.5" - 3.5" adapter cable). Then you just copy the setup files to it. or: you buy a paralell/printer port port cd rom on ebay or: you use a zip drive for the printer port or: you create a floppy disk version of windows 95 (instructions on the net) and so on. since u r opening the laptop i would suggest the first way. its fast. see you later, european |

By the way:
i have several good battery packs for the LTE Lite. They hold power for 1:45-2:30 hours. I guarantee the operation for the battery pack. If you are interested i can sell one to you. Payment via PayPal. just contact me: Regards, European |

See you later, European I have an LTE Lite 4/33 and bought a modem on e-bay (actually two 4/25 innard assemblies). I used one memory card to up my Ram to 12megs and figured one of the two modems would work. They are Data Lab Inc. CQI-1414 with 2 RJ-11(?-tel connectors). While the Bios recognizes the modem, it is described as "off". How do I turn it "on" ? Thanks Big Walk |

hello,
those modems you mentioned are they external ones or internal ones, third party modems for the LTE Lite Series? never heard bout them...Anyways..if you insert an internal modem (such as the SpeedPAQ Modem) into the unit then you should check the BIOS (Press F10 right after the memory counting). Somewhere under Modem-Settings. Euro |

Somewhere under Modem-Settings. Euro They are internal PCMCIA type 2 and fit in the card slot. Since both sub-assemblies( just the guts of the LTE) had the same modem installed it must be a unit which works with the LTE Lite. The BIOS lists System Board Serial Device..........................Com1, IRQ4 Internal Modem/2nd Serial Device.................Com2, IRQ3 Modem State............................................. ..Off Integrated Trackball.....................................Auto , IRQ15 F4 config brings up...... Internal Modem/2nd Serial Device with "Com 2, IRQ3" hi-lited. When it boots to DOS it lists: C:C:\Mouse\Mouse.exe and installs the Logitech Mouse Driver Release 6.44 Then "Reading MOUSEDRV.ini initialization file Searching for mouse.......... COM4 serial device found EGA/VGA connected Mouse driver installed C:\SET LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE " I don't have a serial mouse to try on Com 1 so I can't see if somehow the LMOUSE is hogging the IRQ but since the BIOS seems to recognize the modem before the LMouse is installed it seems unlikely. Does your LTE BIOS also show Modem State.....off when you boot up ? Is there some sort of modem driver install in your autoexec or config.sys files ? MSDOS has the generic Unimodem.inf file which mentions APEX but I imagine that it is only for W95. Thanks, BigWalk |
