    I just got the barebones l740 and it went together flawlessly. but i have a few questions, does anyone know were installation instructions are, just to be sure it did everything right.

    I'm also wondering what type of wireless adapter this takes, its a fairly short slot and the pictures of the cards for sale on rkcomputers won't fit.

    Also if you power it down using the button you have to remove the battery or it wont boot back into windows. it just sits at the load screen forever, but once i remove and reinsert the battery it boots fine. A bios issue im guessing.

    If you have any other info on these ms-1053/l740 or ms-1037/l745 please post

    thanks

    This model takes the Intel 3945 wireless card. There are no install guides for this model so far, everything is pretty straight foward.

    What bios version do you have?
    There has been a few updates since the initial release, but we have never encountered this problem on this model. Where ever you purchased it may not have upgraded the bios prior to delivery to you.

    Also what brand/speed memory are you using?
