There is a growing list of very useful macros to use with the freeware FileNote, the best file manager for the 9300 / 9500 on

You will need to register to get access, but that is free and easy. Regards,

Subject: Repair of the netBook screen cable
Dear all,
Pieter Plaatsman carefully demonstrated to me how to place the netBook screen cable back into its connector, so I was confident enough to repeat this action when the netBook started to have severe calibration problems again, including flickering of the screen and "jail bars".
The repair itself is not that hard, but it needs to be demonstrated first, before you try. There are some things that you can break or damage.
However, I have had to do this now three times already, as the repair only lasts for a few days.
I take the netBook on my bike to work (1 hour to go and 1 hour back). This is on a bad pavement, but the netBook is wrapped in a Palm-Tec bag, which is then put into the laptop compartment of a Samsonite rucksack. The rucksack is not on my back, but on the bike itself. The netBook should not receive hard knocks, but apparently it does receive the vibrations and the shocks when I bike into a pot hole.
I have always taken any Psion, including my former Malaybook, with my bike, so usually they do survive the trip.
I am therefore looking for other tips to but the flat cable permanently into the connector. Should I glue something ? Should I use Scotch tape ?
For the moment (knock wood) the netBook is fine, one week after its third repair. Thanks to the Belgian "summer" I did not take the bike but the car instead.
Yours truly,
Thomas van der Zijden
