Hot Brick
« on: July 28, 2005, 12:07:18 pm »
I have a charging problem with my 5500. No lights, no boot, but put it in the charger and it gets hot.

I'm not a techie. Any ideas folks?

I have no idea about it, honestly BUT...

If it's dead, and you no longer want it, I'd buy it from you.

I'm interested in trying to expand my sl-5500 from 64mb to 128mb.  I think the only way to do this is a "stacked memory" upgrade.  This is where new chips are stacked on top of old chips.  (If I'm right, Toshiba only made 2 versions of the chips in the SL-5x00's.  One produces the 32mb model, the other the 64mb model).

Anyway, since I don't want to toast my sl-5500 while hacking around, I'm looking for a dead one to play with...

I forgot to add...

If I resurected it(fat chance in hell, I'm not an electrical engineer), then I'd sell it back to you for the cost you sold it to me + one way shipping....

BUT

I don't think it'll ever come alive again if I get my hands on it.

I would be interested in purchasing your brick (or any other 5x00 brick out there) as long as it has a working touch screen and backlight. Please e-mail me at jherrer @ tutopia . com if you are interested in selling it and let me know how much you want.
