Hi, I have just acquired an old Olivetti M111 Model No XP1021 and I was
wondering if anybody might still have a manual for it that they could e-mail
to me. At the moment it is working fine but it would be nice to know a bit
more about it. I think that it would be classed as a laptop although it is
fairly weighty it is portable. Does anybody know anything about the NECV30
CPU(Who made it). This was made about 1989 I think but I am interested in
getting older computers, especially ones that work.

Hi, I got a big problem for my Thinkpad 770ED battery. My first battery died
after 14 months, which the battery can be charged (0% capacity). Then I
bought a brand new battery 16 months ago from IBM, now it dies again. Anyone
has idea whether dead batteries can be repaired?

All reponses are appreciated.

There are places that replace the cells in laptop batteries. Type
"thinkpad 770 battery" into the ebay search form and you'll find a
lot of rebuilt batteries for sale for $100 or so. That's still painful,
but it's about half what a new IBM battery goes for.
Expensive batteries that don't fit anything else are one of the big
scams of the laptop trade. Unfortunately there seems to be no good
escape at present.

James, usually not Li-Ion batteries. But try:

How about the "proprietary hard disk shell/caddy" scam? :)
