so the other day we (the wife and I)were over at her brother new house having a look and visit.
during the course of helping to unpack things we came across an oldish laptop (acer aspire-V5-431) I asked whats this !
he responds , O a old laptop I found in the shed wile packing things , well me being me of course said , lets check it out.
well it would not boot up no mater what I tried , their were 2 windows boot loader entry's in the F12 boot menu and the hard drive along with the usual USB netboot and such and none of the produced any results ... except the persistent live USB I allways cary with me .
so he said you mess with such things you want it , well you can never have to many test boxes so I took it.
that was this past Saturday , well today I started to redo it .
I DL'd the Neon-user and dd'd it to a USB , booted it , installed "partitionmanager" then ,,
I redid the drive like this ,,,,,,,
1=/boot
2=/
4=/home
and
this is fresh install of
it's running well on this hardware
@curent with Dolphin,2-Konsols,system monitor & Firefox running it's only using this much RAM
so far so good with the install and how it's running , their are some hardware problems .
1-I have found 2 key's that do not work , the up and rite arrow keys , they do not work in the BIOS setup as well so their probably dead.
2-not a broken hardware problem but the hardwired network inputand and VGA output are a combind plugin that require a speshal set of plugs ,,,the wireless works however and their is a HDMI output.
3-the batery is completly dead , will not charge
at some point during the next week I will be doing the Bionic upgrade on it .
thats all for now .
