I have been experiencing the exact same thing recently. Try doing a right-click on the IMG link, then select copy from the drop down menu. (assuming you are on MS Windows).

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I was hitting mine for several weeks or more until hitting it wouldn't work any more.  Downloaded the HP repair manual free and fixed it in about 15 minutes or read and do repair.  Screen cable came unplugged.

I'm waiting..... :)

Here's the pile of natural resources I tore down yesterday and hauled home [cool]

I'm going to use the old lumber for the interior of the cabin.
Don't you love recycling heh

Dang it, Dan. heh

It was a monitor cable buried deep in the bowels of the computer under the switches and keyboard. [crz]

I knew it was coming loose and hitting it in the proper fashion would jar the plug back into the socket for a few hours of relatively uninterrupted viewing.  [crz] 

A frenzy of beatings could restore it again and again until finally I was forced to get out the book I printed out for just such a future emergency.  [deadhorse]

Why would I even consider learning where all of the hidden screws and latches were to get the keyboard, switch panel, memory and memory cover, etc all out of there to fix it properly until all was lost it it was impossible to resuscitate it with chest compressions and electroshock therapy? hmm

I'm thinking about painting the front door white to match the windows.
What do you guys and gals think ???

 ???

How weathered will the wood door get, unpainted? Will that be a PITA for upkeep? Here in the desert anything other than paint on wood can be a maintenance nightmare. Up in the mountains the heat from the sun is less but it still is hard on clear type finishes.

Paint on the door would tie the appearance together.  ???




I'd probably paint it. It's not as if you didn't have any exterior wood other than the door.  :D

I'm with you Don,that it would tie the appearance together.
The bad part is it took me two days to take the white paint off of the door when I got it and now I'm thinking of putting it back on d*

As for the weather I'm going to add a rap around porch someday.

You'd be applying a vastly superior grade of new paint though, wouldn't you?    :D

Hey Whitlock,
Not a white door fan but there is a picture gallery of a cedar board and batton cabin when you bring up
the home page of this site at the top of the page named Update and click Ca Cabin It has a front white single door with half glass and at the other end a double french door. It does look very nice but I'm thinking that the door you have wouldn't look as well as a regular painted door that has a smaller glass not the french panel type. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Worked on the interior today putting up the old, twisted,bowed up, not square,barn board.
Until I ran out of square nails >:(



Here is the back of the cabin watch the first step out of that door heh

Whitlock,
Also, you could paint the trim around the windows and door along with the door the same color.
I saw a small cabin that had dark green trim and door and look great. Check out the owner-building
projects here and look at the posting of the 30'x40' Earth Berm Solar House in Central Maine by
BishopKnight. Check out the little cabin 12x16 he built before he starts his big cabin.
