    Is there an ODM PDF build manual for the HGL30?

    I received my GL30 shell today and to my surprise there wasn't even a paper build leaflet.

    I have worked with major suppliers here and the manufacturer usually releases build powerpoint manuals for the reseller.

    The question I have is that the HGL has a ferrite core plug next to the CPU - do you plug it in? What does it do?

    There's this thread:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=80187&highlight=hgl30+assembly

    And this is a video of a HEL80 being assembled, so it won't be exact--but it can show you some of the steps:

    never mind

    i'm installing the o/s now!

    it's pretty confusing at first with all the parts - but it's fairly self explanatory

    if you can build a desktop you can build a compal!

    the only tricky bit was inserting the screws into tight places.
