Ok,
I really don't know much about anything let alone this, but I learn. I just cleared my machine and reloaded ME from scratch. Everything is fine, except that my notebook doesn't show any battery at all?
If I recall I did have a similar problem before with 2000 on a desktop and bios update fixed that.
So, does anyone think that would solve this?
How DO you get a bios update anyway? I had a boyfriend that fixed the 2000 machine but I'd rather not have to run to someone else to fix everything in my life!
Toshiba Tecra 8000
WinME
No recognizable battery?
Where do you expect the battery to show? In the system tray?wonnder wrote:Ok,
