I'm fixing this laptop that was used as a kid toy for a while, busted hinges and cracked plastics but it still powers on

Hey I'm gonna do a laptop thread while I deep clean this area of my room lol, the first one, Compaq lte elite 4/75cx, with a fancy active screen, 486, and barely working hinges.

On my way home from office i saw a random old computer on the curb

kiwa, 3 months ago to random

I guess now I can continue working on this computer, I need to replace the power switch and I found this 4gb HDD that I want to use because it's very quiet

The computer itself disassembled
A Seagate hdd

Look what I found on marketplace for 20 bucks, a really beat up ibook toilet seat, the owner removed the HDD without taking any care so it's missing screws and there are some cracked plastics, but it's powering on, so it has potential

Does anyone what is this keyboard from? Looks like it's meant to go inside something, a friend found it on the trash and gave it to me

kiwa, 10 months ago to random

I got this thing today, it's a composite video capture device, it records to DVD, USB and SD card, nice!

So I was dumping the HDD of this toshiba laptop, and the keyboard is the same that my other Toshiba uses so I tried and yeah got it to boot! I think it's worth the 20 bucks in parts so I can get it working, probably I'll order them next month

Idk what's the point of the ps/2 connector on this board, mouse maybe? Idk I don't think I have ever even seen a case with another hole there, but I found this connector on my pile of crap so let's see.

At this point this is my very experimental pentium board lol

me: collecting old laptops is great, it uses barely any space and it's handy

also me: two big plastic boxes full of chargers that i can't trow away because they use the weirdest connectors known to humanity

I haven't shown this properly, it's a hard disk I got, someone from the office found it in a storage closet and it ended up in my boss's hands, I was like I want that, and after explaining what it was, I got it, with the promise to wipe it.

So, a thread 🧵

kiwa, 2 months ago to random

a friend recently "commissioned" me to build him a pentium 2 computer, like i buy the parts and just give him the thing working and then he pays me and this is kinda the best part of old computers, just building them and playing with the hardware xd

I want one of those 486 canon laptops with the embedded printer
