    Not too familiar with these models, but I have one that has light bleeding from the bottom middle of the LCD.

    Anyone give me insight on it?

    We got a box of t5's and about 11 t2's
    Ianaged to get one really nice t5 working, one passable, and about 7 great t2's
    The rest are organ donors.. Only saw the bleed on one T5, might be ground related, the damn backlight didn't want to come on unless I used that fiberous mesh on the back of the LCD... Weird.
    Now if I could find some damn IDE hdd's, and who's bright idea was it to use MICRO DIM for ram!? Sheesh...

    The T2's still need the pin mod done on the harddrive or the tape to cover up part of the IDE cable where it plugs into the harddrive. I haven't had to do any of that with the T5's, and the T5's are wwan ready. The duo models really rock on the T5's. ( I have 4 of them, lol)

    I know!!
    I'm liking this little T5.. I just loaded win7 on it but am having a hell of a time getting the screen calibrated...
    I have a spare.. Maybe I'll hello Kitty it up for my daughter and give it to her when she's a little older..

    I knew about the mod for the T2's but all of my local guys haven't had IDE drives in eons....
