Hi all,

First post here! I found an old Toshiba Tecra 510CDT, and it appears to be working mostly fine! It even contains the original 2.1GB harddisk! I opened it up after noticing some issues with the keyboard, and found two NiMH batteries with a decent amount of corrosion (enough to make the connector come off the board). After removing the corrosion and broken connectors, the laptop appeared to work perfectly fine! So now I'm on a journey to bring the laptop back to it's original glory.

(Please ignore the missing front pad, I still have to re-mount it after repairs)

I searched online on some info regarding the two NiMH batteries that I found, but couldn't find that much unfortunately. So I was hoping maybe someone on this forum knows more about this specific laptop, and could hopefully tell me a bit more about them. There's one 7.2v 30mAh NiMH, and one 3.6v 30mAh NIMH. I assume one of them is the CMOS battery, but not sure which one. Are they both required, or just one of them? And does someone know which board connector is used? I hope to resolder a new connector to the motherboard, as the traces are still fine, just the connector corroded off the motherboard. The connectors look a bit like a Molex 2-pin and 3-pin PicoBlade connector, but I'm pretty sure that that can't be it.

Hope to learn a bit more about this laptop, thanks in advance!
