As we all know by now, these VPR Matrix computers are a version of the Samsung P10. I was able to find a nice version of the P10 user manual at the Samsung Hong Kong site
Manual
The manual includes features that do not exist on the VPR models. Primary of these missing items are no floppy drive (so what, if you really need an internal floppy you can find one on the web) and no infrared (no more ir sync of PDA). Nor do these computers have audio line in.
The user manual has detailed instructions on such things as adding additional memory that aren't included in the manual I d/loaded from vprmatrix.com.
Hope this info is useful to you.

We should make a VPR Matrix laptop group so we can all keep in touch and help each other out with tips and tricks since the VPR community is pretty small...
I am facing this problem right now. It seems every now and then, there will be a sec of hard drive access. You can hear the sound "almost click like" and sometimes the HDD LED lit up. I bother me the most is when I am playing a game. It will froze the game while it is doing that, which only last about a sec. I am hoping it is not the "click of death" of the hard drive. Ran SMARTDefender from IBM/Hitachi support site (Can't run IBM Fitness Test without Floppy...). I ran the Extended SMART test, it didn't find any error. I called Bestbuy, they can't ship me a replacement HDD. And they want me to take it in Bestbuy to have it ship to them... I don't now what the hack am I suppose to do now.
The $100 in store rebate unfortunately says
"Excludes prior purchases, clearance items, demos and open box merchandise"
Mine is every one of those
I think I might still go for it.. I'll probably just try to talk them down on the extended warrenty when
I go in to get it

None of that is true as it's a clearance item and on the price tag it shows the rebate... open box and demos are cool too as verified by in-store managers and 800# CSRs... I'd try it, hell, it'll cost ya a postage stamp and 10 cent photocopy to find out

Oh, well, "no box" is different from "open box".
No box = no UPC = no rebateeverybody that is asking for a copy of the upc for rebate purposes....
YOU CAN NOT USE A COPY OF THE UPC! it HAS to be the actual cut out upc off the box in order to get the rebate. geez, stop asking already

Uhhhh, actually, on the rebate form (the in-store one anyway) it asks for a copy of the UPC.

i can give the original UPC from B5 box... i don't want to goto beastbuy again for a return/rebuy.... and no credit limit left to do that after 2 other "on order" orders for this. that's if it helps anyone get $200 rebate. pm me.
anyways to do pm to someone?
yes, it is normal. the compaq's do that for battery saving purposes since the lcd is the biggest source of the battery drain.
press the "fn" (function key) and "arrow up" key a few times, you should get your maximum brightness back.
where can i get the $100 rebate form?
Uhhh, not to burst anyone's bubbles... But I'm pretty sure unless you find one of these in-stock in-store the deal is dead online...
