BigBadBiologists BigBadBench | Starting the restoration and repair of two ThinkPad 486 and two Compaq 386 laptops. @BigBadBench | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
I recently got an IBM ThinkPad 755CDV in exchange to build a PC for someone. It is the ultimate of 1995 technology with video capture and overhead projector capabilities. Unfortunately, it's not functional and needs to be totally disassembled. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to disassemble a ThinkPad 750Cs that I got a while ago that is also not functional.
And since I'm taking apart laptops, I'm going to see if I can get a couple Compaq LTE 386/25 systems up and running.
Heads up to i80386sx for a nice teardown and diagnosis of one of these Compaq machines:
