I could post twenty sites talking about different I have not found any sites with a working solution. I’m working on trying to load any os I can onto the broken ones. The other three don’t load all the way to the os.

I’m going to see what other mods I might be able to pull off with this.īTW, I am very interested in the solar power mod!! If you get any time to post the DHCP update, please do! I appreciate you posting pics of the machine torn down. It’s too bad they didn’t make it faster, able to hold bigger SD storage, and able to boot another OS. Seems like there is only a few things keeping this machine from being great. So far, I’m seeing that this might prove impossible. Also, I’m trying to figure out a way to run Flash in the browser.

Has anyone found out how to get this thing to load apps from the SDcard? Everything I’ve done I get the same error messages you all get:”not a valid CE application”. I got so aggravated with it, I honestly can’t remember how I got it to work without setting a Static address. I too had a problem with the DHCP address issue. I wish I could have found a deal like you all did. I just bought this machine yesterday on sale for $99.
Hopefully this cheap starter will open up some good ideas. If you’ve done any mods to your netbook, post a comment! There’s a lot of “reviews” but no real modifications yet to speak of. System Flash: 2GB cumulative (WinCE partitions 500MB for system and 1.5G for storage) – Samsung K9GAG08U0.System RAM: 128MB SDRAM, unknown manufacturer.Research points anywhere from 200MHz to 600MHz. System Processor: WonderMedia WM8505+ (linux identifies as an ARM936EJ-S rev 5), unknown speed.Display: HL 070 TN92 – Unknown Manufacturer – 800×480 May be TFT?.Just in case you missed it, let’s go over the details: As soon as I have more resources, I’ll post a followup article with links for downloading the updates as well as the linux images. This will help you avoid a lot of headache later on trying to get the thing to talk to your LAN.

Just be sure to download and install the Windows CE update as soon as you get it. It is comprable to the Dockstars I have but even at $100 retail it’s got a lot of potential to make it worth the cash. Once I have it tuned properly and performance is decent, I’ll post the updated image to the site so you can download and enjoy.Īll in all, I think this is an excellent find at the $30 I paid for it. I have also been able to get the device to start a blackbox X session and installed Iceweasel however the speed for page loads and views is very slow so performance will need to be tuned.
I have been able to get Debian Linux to boot off an SD card on the device and also have managed to get the onboard Ethernet to work. There were some noticeable speed improvements to the device. This update fixes the DHCP issue that previously required me to set a static IP for wifi and for ethernet connectivity. So after spending a couple of days working on it, I was able to locate a firmware update for the Windows CE device. I was still on the fence and told him that there’s a good chance I could do something with it and he sold it to me for $30 just to get rid of it and avoid having to ship it back to corporate. He told me that although these devices were popular, many people were downright irate when they brought them back because of the device’s supposed horrible operability. I told him that I plan on modding the device and would not need to return it. The manager warned me to not expect a fast performing machine and that since it was an open box, CVS would not be able to take a return especially at the price I was being given. It runs Windows CE, has several USB ports, an SD card slot and a mic and headphone jack. The device touts itself as a “Wireless mobile internet device” and from the box, the stats are a little on the slim side. Read further to discover what this little beastie’s hiding under its hood. Even better, I got mine as an open box for only $30 making it an awesome find. While at my CVS I came across a Sylvania netbook device for under $100. Of course as a hardware geek, I’m always on the look out for another great hack. Well, the annual gift-giving season has drawn to a close and now we are left with retailers trying to get rid of all that extra stuff that thy have left over in their inventories.
