Hello,
I was messing with my 1996 laptop - a Pentium 100mhz olidata green751. I was trying to copy some files over from my main pc to the CF card i use as this PC's HDD (with a CF to IDE adapter) but when I got everything ready, it wouldn't turn on. The laptop has a little display under the screen (like a calculator display) which tells battery percentage, if it's plugged in or not, floppy/hdd activity and caps/num lock. Now when i turn the laptop on it displays only the battery icon which looks always empty even though the battery works, or the "plugged in" icon. The LCD doesn't turn on, no beeps are hears, no floppy activity. if i put into the machine a mechanical hard drive it spins to life but still nothing.
What can i try? The computer is almost unknown (google gives little to no info about it) so i'm at a loss. What do i do?
Thanks in advance
