    Battery Life compromise.

    That is pretty much how the majority of netbooks employ a heatsink. Not sure if the newer generations have changed anything but i know an asus eee pc 701, 900, 901, 1001HA use this method as i have taken them all apart. Just a thermal pad wedged between the chip and the metal chassis behind...

    While I wait for my Panda... (Software questions and SD card setup)

    I just reformatted my 64gb pretec SD card i bought from link. I used the freeware easus partition software for windows and had it format to fat 32 with 4kb sectors. The card was previously formatted with 128kb sectors (windows default if i recall) and the change seems to have sped things up...

    Trying to get my pre-order refunded

    Ed, the last 3 sentences of that post were not called for, just be courteous and refer other UK orders (of which i am one) to the relevant official contact information. If you are unhappy funding Craigs preorders through pandora sales then say it properly. The passive low level digs at craig...

    new open-pandora.com page looks early 2000s

    Amen bruvva!! The Pandora with it's gaming controls and the ability to play amiga games through emulation with a seperate fire and jump button was one of the main contributing factors that led me to pay for one. I enjoyed amiga on my Wiz but the strange charging port was annoying and the...

    New LCD Cables (Japan coating) question

    Yeah i can confirm that. I have one of the newer lcd cables but the coating has rubbed off on a certain section. I attribute this to me taking the case apart on a constant basis. Most of the screws had threaded and i constantly had to take it apart to inject superglue or epoxy in to the...

    1 ghz dead pixels and other issues...

    The pretec cards available from ED and Link seem to work well, i have 2 x 64gig and have not had many errors at all. One thing i have noticed is if you do have errors on your SD card, most things you download with firefox on the Pandora will not complete properly. Sorry for butting in on...

    1 ghz dead pixels and other issues...

    You can gently massage the spot with your thumb where the dead pixels are and they may come good. I have used this method on my LCD pc screens and have had some success but you do it at your own risk. As for apps not loading, try unmounting and then mounting the card when it is in the...

    The current situation

    Well i read the start of this thread but started skimming when the pissing contests started. Is there any point in asking when i will be recieving my 'original preorder' '1ghz upgrade' from Craig? Does anyone know? While the op was an interesting read my patience is starting to wear thin...

    how many 1 ghz preorders are left? and who has one coming !

    Perhaps a tension sheet placed in between the components may settle their disposition :D http://reddwarf.wiki...i/Tension_Sheet Just to calrrify, components=charger, case, pandora etc. After re-reading what i typed i think it could have been taken the wrong way, I wasn't poking fun at the...

    how many 1 ghz preorders are left? and who has one coming !

    Ah cheers NLS, much appreciated. I put off doing a few things this morning on my day off and have been reading through the entire Test-Run thread where there was something briefly mentioned about what you speak of. Time for another cuppa and finish off reading the thread and then get on with...

    how many 1 ghz preorders are left? and who has one coming !

    Jees that has to be a kick in the head after such anticipation. Not good mate, hopefully it gets sorted sooner rather than later. I have upgraded to a 1ghz model after a bit of deliberation on whether to spend the money i kind of didn't have.. Weird thing is, i was told i was queue...

    Input/output error when writing a big file onto USB external hard drive

    SSD manufacturers periodically release firmware upgrades for their drives as memory controller errors etc come to light out in the wild. I know a couple of my SSD's (OCZ Vertex 2's) have had a few, have you checked the manufacturers website to see if there is any listed for your particular...

    Firefox 11 not saving files

    Unmount your SD Card, put it in another machine and scan for errors. I had this issue with FF not downloading the complete file, running a scan and letting Win7 auto fix filesystem errors fixed it.
