I just found this website today. It is great! I thank doddel for his info. I bought my I buddie 4 on 5/4/02. I had no problems with it untill 2 months ago when the connection started acting up. The original power supply would have a startup problem if left in a cold car but once it was at room temp it was fine. I see some had the feet break off these are fine. Changed the battery about a year ago. I have a desk that I cut a hole in under the computer and put a fan. This thing runs 24/7 most of the time. The CD/DVD/RW is a bit funcky once in a while but I am always haveing trouble with CD writers.

I have not been able to find a BIOS update. My BIOS date is 5/16/2002. Does someone know if and where a newer update is.
Thank you for any help.

Welcome to the board.
Not sure about the BIOS, do you think you need an update?

After having my A928 useless for 4 years (almost trash it), with a melted power cable and broken power jack, among other problems, I found this forum and decided to contact David Cai. He fixed it in a professional and inexpensive way, gave me some advice and even fixed other problems the desknote had without additional charge. If you have a power system problem he is the right person. DC SYSTEM, Tel: (416) 788-6788 (E-Mail Removed)

I fixed the power supply the next day. I was looking for a bios update download.
I am unemployed so I can't afford much of anything I ran a piece of zip cord from an old power supply to the A928 it is fine.

A more recent firmware (for m.board version 4) can be downloaded from ECS'site.
