m6805

just got this laptop and it was refurbished and came with no recovery cd . The o/s winxp crashed on me from the hibernating which it went into on it's own I am presently formating the hard drive and will be needing all of the drivers to get this back up and running I have a cd for win xp which I have from my desktop. Need help for the drivers for this m6805. Here are the spec. AMD Athlon 64 processor with Ati Radeon 9600 graphics controller. The Audio is pc 2001 Compliant AC 97 Audio . It has a wireless 802.11g wireless Lang. Any help would be very much appreciated[ ]

 

http://www.arima.com.tw/ViewSupport.asp?View=71. The Arima drivers. Fit all m68xx machines. You could also get a set of restore disks from eMachines ~$20. Check your BIOS too, if it ain't 0f08 BIOS SP2 will have problems. You can get the upgrade BIOS from eMachines.

thanks for your help OLYTEDDY. I was having problems installing winxp because the laptop would reboot before I get a full installion with winxp. Was able to install winme but the graphic I believe is for winxp only. Did get ahold of emachines and they are going to send me the cd, which still cost $20.00 which is worth it for me. While I'm waiting I'm still trying to get this laptop to do a complete install of winxp, while typing this it just rebooted itself and don't know why?? Question!! On the Broadcom 54g. Max performance 802.11g wireless network adapter is installed but it shows it as being disabled.The screen tells me to use the hardware radio conrol switch to enable it (Well thats my problem can not locate the hardware radio control switch, have any idea where this is located?? I', just a green horn all the way (HA HA)

 

Fn - F2 will turn on the wireless for you. A Blue LED under the touch pad should turn on.

 

There is also a BIOS item that chooses how it starts up, Always on, Always off or resume previous state.

I'm a little slow at this since I'm recovering from an aneurysm operation I had on my head. This trying to work the laptop helps to keep my mind active. so just bear with me and thanks for your help. We got the m8605 to accept the winxp to be installed and what was cashing it to keep rebooting when trying to install was the wrong upgrade memory stick which my son brought and it was installed by the store. So we are now waiting for the correct one. Was able to install all drivers thanks to info given by OLYTEDDY (thank you) and we learned how to able the wireless thanks to STYLEE. Got good signal for the wireless but don't know how to make it connect to the net, any suggections would be appreciated!! Also since I have no manual for this laptop I don't know the functions for the function key and have not seen anything listed so can that be listed to help us out. Once again thank you all for your help[ ]

 

I have a M6809 so I will list what the function keys do on mine, I don't think they differ from them M6805 at all.

FN - F2 = wireless on/off

FN - F3 = sleep

FN - F4 = Toggles exteral monitor on/off

FN - F7 = Brightness down

FN - F8 = Brightness up

F9-F12 media controls
FN - F9 = Play/Pause
FN - F10 = Stop
FN - F11 = Previous Track
FN - F12 = Next Track
FN - Prt sc = sys rq (and I have no clue what that is)
FN - Scroll - Function Lock use this so you can use the num pad feature

FN - Pause = Break

As for the wireless, what kind of router do you have.. Does the router have a internet connection going to it, etc.

Hope this helps.
