Hello, I recently put my hands on a Toshiba T3100 gas plasma laptop, seems to work fine overall, except that I have some lines on the display. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Connectors/cable, capacitors, video chip? Here is a photo with the problem:

Hello, I recently bought a laptop like this, can you please tell me what capacitors needs to be changed, for the LCD?

OK I think I found the problem, it seems that MS-DOS 5.0 and above are too new for this computer.... at least using the external CGA conversion, because on the other forum, those guys seem to run a newer dos version with the internal LCD. I tried with MS-DOS 3.3 and MS-DOS 4.01 boot disks and these …

In BIOS I can choose "mono", "color 40" and "color 80" - which these numbers are in fact the resolution of the text columns. I don't know the resolutions that supports, but my external monitor is switching to something like 760x480 (don't remember exact numbers, but similar) The photos above are …

Hello, In the meantime I managed to open the display case and found out is a CGA LCD... If anyone is interested, is a SHARP LM64135Z / F0047 HCN-24V So I'm trying to revive this wonderful piece of technology by putting a LCD driver with a modern LCD. But, before doing this, I need to find a way to …

Hello, Does anyone have any idea what LCD model is using this laptop (Nixdorf 8810/16 - PC 17)? It was damaged from the transport, and I wanted to check if replacements exists, so I can keep it.. My guess would be something like a SHARP ~10 inch monochrome, but wanted to check first if someone knows …

Hello everyone, I recently bought a Toshiba T4600 with that pesky P30 error (it was actually showing also P31 on random times). I replaced the 1000uF capacitor which had a small visible leak, but now the laptop is not doing anything than just showing the "On" icon on the small LCD. What I observed …

I'm asking about this because I checked on a desktop PC with an Pentium-S 120Mhz, and strangely enough it doesn't have a thermal compound between the CPU and the heatsink. The Desktop-PC is from 1995 and it had files on its drive from 2001, so it worked like that those years:D Well, I think I will …

Hello people, I recently disassembled a Toshiba Tecra 510CDT (P133 Mhz) and I was wondering if this CPU needs thermal paste? It has like 2 sets of heat sinks. Between the heatsinks there is a pink thin layer of some material. I attached some photos so you can have a better idea. What do you think it …

Little update, after I put a Prime95 for around 45 minutes, the fan started 😁

SSTV2 wrote on 2021-02-27, 22:13: I had same concern once too, CPU fan on my Armada 1550T (133MHz P54C, 2.9V core) turns on when CPU reaches around 65*C, that's normal for those armadas apparently. Hi SSTV2, thank you for your answer. I will give it a try with some games and stay close to the fan 😁 …

Hello, I recently got a Compaq Armada 1592DT and is working without problems. Well, at least for now :D I observed that the fan is not spinning so my question is: The fan on this machine is always on or it will start only when the laptop gets hot? I opened the laptop and separately tested the fan …

I think I managed to resolve this issue, I add overlay for the output. In case someone have the same problems, here are the main settings: fulldouble=false fullresolution=320x240 windowresolution=320x240 output=overlay autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror=true priority=higher,normal mapperfile= …

Hello, Can someone help me, please? I installed DOSBox on Armbian 5.3 on a NanoPi NEO that uses a tiny LCD connected through SPI. The problem is that it gives me an error like it can't run on lower resolution than 640x400 (running from terminal, SDL drivers activated)... The LCD that I have …
