I have to admit that I omitted an important detail on the fuel I used, which was a fondue fuel from a local dollar store - and there was no details on what this fondue fuel consisted of - whether it was pure ethanol/methanol or a mixture of both.

For the occasional leak between the two parts, I always fit the top part inside the bottom one. That way if there is a leak, it just becomes another jet. For the temperature issue, I can only recommend that you try other fuels. Methanol packs less energy per gram than ethanol but it is definitely more volatile. Did you try it? I'm not sure if it can work, -20 C is definitely really cold for any kind of alcohol stove. Keep me posted if you find a workable solution. Hello Larry,

I'll try to post some pictures of the chip under the keyboard. Jerry, thank you very much for that tip! I’ll try to post some pictures of the chip under the keyboard.

Remove the plate at the top of the keyboard, under the screen. Just pry it up, and unscrew the keyboard. There is the memory chip. --Jerry I discovered that the second memory slot is hiding under the keyboard. Remove the plate at the top of the keyboard, under the screen.

Your problem sounds pretty much exactly the same as mine. The amount of "twisting" used was very minimal, and a lot of it might not be described as twisting, but rather squeezing the edges of the screen between your fingers. My guess is that the twisting/squeezing action restablishes the contacts for the touch pen sensors... hope that helps and good luck Hi, I can only say from my experience that it works on my laptop… your results may differ.

This wouldn't be so bad, but it's a whole half inch, which makes it impossible to calbrate as u can't click the centre of the crosses.<br /> I updated drivers and such but no difference - does twisting the screen really work? Could you give some more details as to how to twist it exactly? I don't want to go about twisting my friend's screen without knowing what I should do first!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> Hi there - I have the same problem with my friend’s Toshiba Portege 3500 - the left hand side of the screen doesn;t respond to the digitizer pen at all.
