If I find some time, I am eager to give it a test... Here a list of machines I found having a PNP0C14 device: HP: nx5000, nx6310, nx6125, nx6325, nx8220, nx9105, nx9420, nx9105, Presario m2000, nc6230, nc6400, dv8000, ... Acer: Aspire 5050, 1360 wlmi, Ferrari F5000, ... FSC: Some Amilos (at least M3438G) There are probably much more, maybe someone finding his laptop on this list also wants to help and try things out...
