>>As they are so cheap I decided to by a pair of Nokia's PopPort stereo earphones for listening to music on my 9500.  The quality is quite good but they feel rather cheap and tacky.  I suspect I am in no luck here as the PopPort connector limits what can be connected but I would really like to get hold of decent proper headphones to use with the 9500 and was wondering if there are any available using a Bluetooth connection.  I mean proper headphones as opposed to those tiny little earphones.

Nokia do a cheap (AD-15?) Audio Adapter for plugging in standard 3.5mm headphones.

>>Also, does anyone know where I can get the Ogg Vorbis plug-in for the Music Player?  I don't really like the Ogg Player and prefer Nokia's own Music Player and would like to use this with the plug-in.  It is listed on Steve Litchfield's 3-Lib site but the link is broken.

The plug-in was never formally released, I think, because it was superceded by OggPlay itself. But, on my 9500, with OggPlay installed, the right codecs seem to be there for Music Player to use as well. Does this work for you? Let me know.

Sheer:
Some time ago I purchased a second hand netBook. But I had to send it back, because of malfunctions. I had tried a number of files, transferred via Psiwin, that had worked perfectly on my MC218.
- Only one Excel (97) file worked as it should
- Another Excel file, and a jpg-file, were listed in the browser, but when I tried to open them the reply was "File not found"
- More serious: all the Word 97-files came up as "Write protected". No way of getting around it.
Not that it matters any more, but could anyone explain this?

To make things worse my MC218 seems to be giving up
- First some of keys got connected somehow, so that when I press either, both characters appear on the screen: 1 and Tab, 2 and a, 3 and s, 4 and d, 5 and F. Also in combinations with Fn, and Arrow up. All other keys OK. One digester suggested moisture, and that I should disassemble (?) the machine and dry it. How can one open it? Or should I give the whole machine a go with my wife's hair-dryer?
- KeyB Layour and Keymapper did not work any more
- Then Ctrl went out of orbit, and (almost) always triggers Record and closes all other programs.
Does anyone recognize these symptoms?

To all:

As they are so cheap I decided to by a pair of Nokia's PopPort stereo earphones for listening to music on my 9500.  The quality is quite good but they feel rather cheap and tacky.  I suspect I am in no luck here as the PopPort connector limits what can be connected but I would really like to get hold of decent proper headphones to use with the 9500 and was wondering if there are any available using a Bluetooth connection.  I mean proper headphones as opposed to those tiny little earphones.

Hi Kevin,

Ebay have loads of Nokia 9500 - 3.5mm headphone adaptors for under a fiver. You could then use any headphones you wish.

FastBackUp - What a brilliant program. Thank you very much, Philip and Bruce, for pointing me towards it.

It's the tail end of the hurricane season here and the other day, my 
Revo was a bit damp after hours of tropical rain. Quite suddenly the 
screen went totally dark. Turning the machine off had no effect. 
Playing with screen brilliance had no effect. It was only once the 
battery was depleted (I suppose - couldn't see anything) that the 
screen reverted to its normal grey.

I did a hard restart and the machine was as good as new.

Anybody tell me what happened ?
