    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    Has anyone had their media card reader stop working? The one in my 6811 (purchased in Oct. 2004) went out a couple of months ago. I tried SD cards and compact flash cards. Neither work. I have unistalled and reinstalled drivers. I've restored to factory condition. I've even formatted and...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    WRT ghosting from the m6805 to the m6811, I realized one minor issue I overlooked. I rarely use my modem, but I needed to use it on the road today (uggh!) and it wouldn't respond. After a little research I discovered that the modems between the m6805 and m6811 are different. Had to delete the...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    I restored my 6805 ghost image onto my 6811 with no problem at all. XP recognized the different hardware. I rebooted and everything was fine. Didn't even have to reactivate XP or Office 2003. Then I installed SP2 and still no problems. I wouldn't think ghosting from your 6805 to your 6811...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    Yes to the the question about the USB drive. From my old 6805 to my 6811, XP, Office 2003 and all apps were fine. I had to reactivate Dreamweaver, but it reactivated on-line w/o any problem. I used Ghost and it worked like a champ. Only thing I did lose were my wireless network connections...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    I just read in another forum that someone's serial # on their 6805 begins "N3042". Mine begins "N303C" like scatpack's. Perhaps mine is not in the affected range after all. Still, I am seeing a hairline crack in the standard area on the left hinge. Can anyone comment on which series of...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    I wondered the same thing. The numbers must refer to the Windows XP sticker on the underside of the laptop. The numbers under the second barcode resemble the numbers mentioned. My fourth and fifth numbers are "43," which I suppose means that it is in the affected range. I can see a hairline...

    FAQ for Emachines M6805

    I bought my m6805 in January 2004 at Best Buy. I didn't think I had the cracked hinge until I looked really closely today and noticed the hairline crack on the left hinge. I have the eMachines extended warranty. Any chance Best Buy will swap it or am I better off sending it in to eMachines...
