LOL it dose run warm ,,,average of 130% F

VINNY

So, it runs at a temp of N (130% of F, F being the 6th letter, so 130% of F gets us N)?

Vinny, I'm so OCD about this stuff I figured out the compose key sequence to get the ° symbol just so I can type it correctly.

<Compose Key> o o

gets you the degree symbol ° , and

<Compose key> e =

gets you the euro symbol € . Cool, right?

I usually ,,,,if I'm going to use something like that ,, just open Kcharselect find the symbol I need and copy the symbol in the description pane and past it into the text Field.

as it seams at the moment I do not have a "compose key" set ,,,,,,,,

Good news and bad news ....

The good news is my dvd caddy came when it was supposed to.
The bad news is that the WD 750GB HD that I mounted in it and placed where the DVD/CD ROM was ... isn't recognized.

I tried changing the AHCI setting in BIOS to IDE but it didn't make a difference. The drive mounted nicely in the caddy and the caddy seated perfectly in the bay. The fly in the oinment is that the HD I used was the old WD drive I took out and replaced with the new one. The caddy was advertized as Linux compatible and it was also listed as compatible with this Acer V3-771. The docs say it comes with a "Dual Channel Switch is enabled for different laptops". But, it doesn't identify that switch in the drawings.

Or, my old HD may have had less life than I thought.

WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Low and behold, VINNY, I saw an empty bay for another 2.5" HD in my laptop! Shocked indeed!
So, now, I am going to put my DVD ROM back in and get a caddy to hold my old HD and see if it will be recognized while mounted in the second bay.

IF I remember corectly that drive was failing ,,,,,,,,,you will need a cord to plug it into the MB as well of course ,,,unless you have and old one laying around .

after I ordered the new drive for the old HP ,,,the thought hit me that it may have been the connecting wire that was bad and not the HD ,,,,,,but as it turned out it must have been the HD as it's still chugging along fine .

Ya, it was failing. May have failed. But, the 2nd HDD bay has the same kind of plugin that the 1st bay has, so I won't need any cables. Just mount it to the $30 HDD bracket and plug it into the bay, and screw the base cover back on. Meanwhile, like I said, I'll probably put the DVD ROM back in, but not sure. Still thinking about it. If it is the HD I may buy a third and have 2TB of storage. I could mount the 1st & 2nd HD's using RAID and use the third one as Btrfs backup storage. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
