My Laptop Lives!!!.
Spent the last couple of days nursing it back to health.
Got the HDD working Windas wasn't going too well, so I formatted the HDD and stuck Red Hat Linux on it, looks pretty good although I have to replace the screen, just using my other monitor at the moment.
14" monitor on the laptop and the specs aren't that great for a Dell Inspiron 500m, but I like the thing.
I'm going to order a new LCD panel next pay-day.
That'll fix ya!!. grin
