Is it mere coincidence or white plastic seems to be less brittle?

I got some PERFECT condition, functional thinkpads from the late 90's. Upon opening them, they snapped in half. I grabbed the chassis and squeezed and they crumbled in my hands. Sad does not begin to explain it!

on ipod touh 4 ios 6 working?

Claims the plastic is brittle. Proceeds to use tools to pry the plastic off...

WOWEEE JUST WAIT TELL HE LEARNS HINGES ON LAPTOPS ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL

what an amazing collection of fun toys

thank you awesome

ABS doesn’t like heat. I think some ABS had treatment to stop this.

I had a GameBoy Advance SP that disintegrated like that second laptop case. Luckily replacement cases for those are plentiful.

Honestly, the best thing you could do if you process e-waste is to get a 3d scanner and scan the parts that can be replicated on a 3d printer. I'm sure the Internet Archive would love to keep them safe!!

Dells from 20 years ago have a metal bracket inside the lid, IBMs too. I've seen Latitudes CPi still break the plastic hinges. CPx era uses tougher plastic.

Old Thinkpads with a rubber coating (such as T20) have that coating disintegrate and it can be very messy. Older Microsoft mouse with that coating on the grips also has the same problem. Dell D410 laptops have their hinges seize, so it can break the plastic. Got some new hinges, but was able to save some old ones with some penetrating oil and then moving the hinges back an forth for a while.

The Compaq lid probably failed due to overall fatigue from use overtime. You see it a lot in mid-2000's/2010's HP systems with the same hinge design. Beefy plastic covers that hide small anchor points that the hinge ties down to that weaken from excess fatigue due to the leverage the size of the screen provides.

Have you tried using an age old technique known as super glue (not the elmers type the real one) and baking soda? Works wonder for repair and you can reform hinges.."Nothing can be done about it." IDK not having them exposed to UV light constantly. Not using ISO or similar cleaners, not retrobrighting everything

how can i do this on mac os 12?

I've got a Compaq Armada 4131T from 1996 or thereabouts - it's in amazing condition, except for the docking station and hinge plastics. I swear they'll get another crack if I look at them wrong. Unfortunately that machine has a problem where it gets stuck at the RAM test, and doesn't go any further, so investigation is due. I'm not really in a hurry to get it going, since my ThinkPad 310 is doing the job of playing mid 90's games nicely, except for the DSTN panel, but I've gotten used to that pretty quickly. BTW I released a video of it some 2 months ago where I show the fix I used for the slightly cracked hinges - it's still holding up a-okay, and I've done some 20-30 cycles to it already. Knock on wood!

The Satellite Pro 430CDT (mines from Dec 96) Have the tape inside decomposing and smells funky and mine it brittle

High Detail Resin Print ing is high detail and durable printable plastic

Dell had a line of laptops in the early 90s - the 316LT and 320LT. The hinges on those started breaking after a few months of use. It turned out that the grease used on the hinges reacted with the plastic and turned it brittle.

I am doing this break to an ipod touch in the coming days. I have Windows 10 installed and I need to make sure the jailbreak application wont give my computer harmful malware. Can anyone answer this?

Both of my Contura 3/25C systems had completely sheared off hinge mounts. I had no choice but to try restoration. They’re rare and cannot be swapped with first gen Contura systems. One is nothing but epoxy and the other involved a lot of plastic welding. So far so good.

Still better than laptops nowadays shipping with this factory new!

If you're wondering why uploads have been so incredibly slow this year, it's because my motivation has hit a low point, not necessarily because I don't like making content here, but because I've been so incredibly focused on creating content on my website! If you like vintage laptops, I'd encourage you to check it out - I'm working on making it the ultimate information resource for them on the internet. There's also a bunch of content up about vintage macs. www.macdat.net

u are a life saver omfg thank you...!!!!!!!!

I’ve got that feeling, that jailbreaking iOS gives you a lot more features and possibilities then rooting some crappy android device xD

Overall great video. Just wish you showed how you took off and put on your new screen with the adaptor. Struggling to find videos/guides when using youtube. But overall, glad to see that old Thinkpads still get love and care!
