I've been learning about and working with computers for close to 30 years, from my first Commodore 64/128 , through the PC boom of the 90's, and continue to love both the 'vintage' computers of my childhood, as well as the latest computer technology at home and in the datacentre.
I love to tinker with old computers, research the past & future of PC tech, and aim to share that passion on this channel.
I hope you find inspiration here!

Many years ago I tried to fix the coilwhine on a graphics card. I filled all the coils with glue. No luck. coilwhine was still there.
What type of charger is it
lose some weight Chris
Wanna know a fun fact? When i installed windows 7 and tried to initialise the fingerprint scanner it redirected me to a page that was NOT the fingerprint scanner setup. Looks like the domain it linked to got bought up by someone else!
Hello, another re[d]tropc here. I also got one!
I have the same model. But how did you installed Windows 11?🙏
Found one of these for 10 dollars a few years back at a thrift store. Upgraded the ram to 4 gb and it seems to work fine. Even found the original monitors, keyboard and mouse that went with it. I eventually do plan to upgrade it with modern hardware and software as a secondary PC, but I've been enjoying revisiting Vista and some older programs on it.
Would you recommend buying one now? I am planning to use it for reading, note making, browsing, maybe some light programming. I have a pc for doing major work, but I just need a laptop for doing some stuff when I'm at college.
Pls can u help me out. I hv the same laptop. But it has a problem saying low power wattage. I changed the charger did ertin but still. It's not working. N it's not turning on sometimes. Pls help.
How do u fix low power wattage on this machine. I have that problem. Help me out pls.
is it possible to play game without those borders? like full screen?
I had this system. It was top of the line at the time. My only complaint was the adhesives were terrible, so the various rubber pads would come off. I wish I still had it!
thanks for this video, i impusively bought one on ebay lol though, according to the listing (at least on the BIOS screen), mine will come with a nvidia geforce4 4200... which best i can tell also sucks big time, only going up to directx 8 lmao. not like that it matters, i really bought it for playing basic 2D games i remember from my childhood, and for the firewire port i wanna mess around with if i can find appropriate camcorders to use it with. oh, and the one i got also has a floppy drive instead of a DVD drive, which i find to be more useful... assuming i can manage to install XP to this machine in the first place without it being a nightmare lol
If I got one of these and ran it off a sd2ide would I need to get those drivers, and which would I need to get?
Also have a link to those dos mode stuff from Phil?
Could this unit support dual gpu with a workaround somehow...? And is there any way to hook this up to the mini pcie slot on a motherboard where the wifi card normally plugs in?
First computer in 1997, cost $2000, it did not last very long. We had nothing but problems with it. Next computer was a VPR? We bought this instead of the Alienware. I believe this one was made by Porsche. Also, did not last very long. I had a lot of problems with computers lasting more than 2 years. Grrr
My PSU is doing a high pich noice while the pc its off but when its on the sound doesnt increase can you tell me what it is. I wish its coil whine
Plea a video.pcmc port support to flash card
Please a video how to work pcmc card .my laptops not working to pcmc slot.model dell latitude 820 and dell latitude 620.
Mmmm
I have the same case but more different motherboard
I have the same laptop but recently it isn't detecting amd card, need help
Thank You very much, nice video.
Hi, I used to connect Lenovo Legion BoostStation to my Asus Notebook with thunderbolt 3 port. But I try to connect it to my new Geekom IT12 through USB4 port. The Bootstation cannot be deteced. Any suggestion for me.
How to open the + from boot sequence ?
Loved watching this video on my mom’s Aptiva. Still thinking about it whenever the song from Rusted Root that was used in this video plays somewhere.
Focus on stopping the “umms”.
Its now 2024 and I am watching from a T430 running on Lubuntu...
Hi, thank you so much for the Acer aspire 5630 video. I also own one but I can assure you it has been frustrating loading the content. It is so slow. Do you think if I changed the hard drive, it can be able to perform much better?
Thinking of picking one up today. Its untested. 70 miles/hour and a half away. 20usd. Also got an untested 6800gt 256mb ddr3 agp gpu for $15 the other day. This is the system I never had in middle school
Thank you for this very useful tutorial. Is there a specific Spudger that fits the opening (for removal) surrounding the (thin square) face-plates used to cover the compartments holding the 3 screws in first step of the Display removal. We can't seem to find one that is not too thick. Is there one expressly manufactured for this purpose? Thanks again.
There is no camera it is a light sensor
I was thinking about using sim card for its own internet, but it has no sim slot. I have no money for router, are there some good adapters that may work with this laptop or sth like that? Do i have to check if it will work if i have linux?
Also I found 1 RAM disk, is it safe to change one out od two of them or do i have to change both at once?
just picked up one of these with a monitor bundled in from an estate sale and found your video looking for more info on it. thanks for the gt210 tip!
i have one that needs repairs
screen doesnt work but power lights up
8gb nice
i have the 1 tb uninstalled
I just made a video about this thing. I've had this since high-school pretty much. The last people to have it before me, put windows XP on it. I am having issues finding display adapters that would work with XP. Do you recommend downgrading to windows 98 or do you know possibly where i can find some drivers for this thing? lol thanks in advance!
Damn the capacitor fearmongering is real.
Hi! I have my Lenovo t520 Laptop with i7 2640m and motherboard based product is 4242A27 i have my 8gb ram running on my system but want to upgrade the Ram more
How is the weight? Is it heavy? Or very light?
I bought mine from Radioshack for $4000 back in 1997. Insane now that we look at what PCs are. But it was top of the line back then
We have i5 6thgen Thinkpad. Buy an other 1+1=2 think pad. ⭕ 👍 🎥 🎑 🅱️ 📴 🔚🌻🌸⭐
Hi, I read an article about laptops without a fan and it mentions the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 3 doesn't have a fan. And I also asked Lenovo about this same laptop today and they confirmed this same model doesn't have a fan. Could you tell me the difference or if now, in August 2024, this model no longer has a fan. Thanks much!
It is comaptible with 4GB DIMM modules i am using 4GB*2 sticks tried 8GB single didnt work
