Re: [NTLK] The Ninety-Nine Cent Emate

Nice post, dale.

One thing that I'm afraid you will have to do is take care of
the hinge spring problem. Even though eMates are still very
attractive as a paperweight, they're much more fun if
you can use them for other things, too ;-)

You can find a detailed step by step instruction here:

Given the good condition your eMate's battery appears to be in, I
guess the machine hasn't seen much use, so your chances are good
that it'll be sufficient to take the hinges apart, clean and
re-lubricate them.

Have fun with your new toy!

Cheers

Frank
