Thanks so much for watching! Oh, when I said 192MB of ram, I meant to say 196MB 😅 PS: Apparently I was actually right about it being 192. Also, a few people are suggesting the driver problems will go away with windows 98. If I do install that I'll let you know. (Update) I did put 98 on it, runs pretty good! The trident graphics chip sucks though 😅

No problem. I enjoy and appreciate your content.

Reminds me of my Toshiba Tecra 8100; which can game like an absolute champ. Sadly the drive has failed and I'm after a new one.
Oh my god,a very big diffrence😄
I guess I'm not the only one who made cardboard/paper laptops as a kid!
Happy 20th birthday Win2000!
You arnt alone I had a incredible cardboard computer with 0 gb ram 0 gb storage zero screen
My son designs his own iPhones and other devices out of cardboard. I think it's healthy
same here ive done it too
Same! I used my Etch a Sketch as a screen and built a cardboard enclosure with a drawn in keyboard, and glued IBM stickers on it. I had a lot of fun playing executive with that thing :)
My 1st grade classmates did too
4200 rpm hdd, and 64 mb of RAM, used up to at least 2011. This person must have had the patience of a saint.
I used a 2004 Compaq Presario in 2015, up until 2016. faster than the 2011 laptop I got that year. Eventually, came back to it after a few slow computers in 2017 or 18.
I had used a machine (Compaq Evo D510 SFF) with Windows XP
512MB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz
up until 2016

10:11 this is sooo soothing and almost nostalgic
This was my dad’s work laptop back when I was maybe 11-12 years old and I would borrow it all the time! Love the nostalgic look back. You weren’t wrong about those speakers looking beefy. Still to this day the best laptop speakers I have ever heard👍
These Toshiba laptops were the last ones before the build quality started to drop significantly. Cool you managed to get hold on one.
Just an advise: remove the green Varta battery packs which keep the RTC and the CMOS RAM alive while the machine is turned off. The NiMH coin cell batteries inside are prone to leak, and if the acids reach the motherboard it's game over. I removed these battery packs from all the Toshiba laptops I have, and actually all of them were leaking inside, while fortunately no one did yet any damage. But they were all ticking time bombs!
Agreed - one of those varta batteries sadly destroyed an Armada 7800 motherboard I had - fortunately I had a spare board.
Had this exact same laptop in secondary school, circa 2002. It was my first ever eBay purchase! 😂
Wait, so 3D Pinball was first bundled WITH A BUSINESS OPERATING SYSTEM??!! I can already imagine the Office Workers back in 1999, playing 3D Pinball on their NT Workstation

I have been the proud owner of a modest home-based laptop e-commerce business since 2005... I had never thought of cleaning the keyboards using rubbing alcohol and q-tips (normally I use a rag and diluted lemon cleaner) ..... thanks for the "tip" ! Cheers from Canada!
this is not only my life's but my whole family's first ever laptop!
back in that time, damn! we rocked windows 98 here! and used to play games like road rush, need for speed II SE, Cadillacs and the dinasours and king of fighters. so many memories!
Toshiba hard drives are the bane of my existence. Every one that I’ve had in a laptop has failed pretty quickly. Same with my family. My dad recently told me his laptop was running slowly so I opened it and found a Toshiba hard drive, took it to my of and tested it and it was failing.
Im only 16, but windows 2000 brings back alot of memories. The first pc my dad ever gave me was a Toshiba satellite that ran windows 2000. I used to use it alot as a kid.
man, that win2000 booting sound so bring back such a great memories!
Love these videos. I never get why previous owners don’t clean them before they sell and ship. I always clean mine before I sell them.
Man that's pretty old... I love how u repair stuff like that and if it weren't for u I wouldn't have anything to do during the day
but where's the PsiBook Pro (2020)?
@@brian5271 😂
0:12 looks like I'm not the only one who did this😂
First time I've ever heard this was a thing, lol.
I once had an old laptop and put it's components in the card board, with the help of my dad
nah I did too
but I used paper
Back in 2005 I had a Satellite 4200. That originally had a 500Mhz Celeron and a 8Mb 3D accelerator graphics card. I upgraded that machine to 320Mb of RAM, 40GB HDD, swapped the original CD to a DVD, and as the processor was socketed too, changed the Celeron to a 750Mhz Pentium III. Good old memories :)
One of the best variant of these laptops is the Toshiba satellite pro 490XCDT, I did the same ram upgrade, and faster 80 gig hdd. PCMCIA LAN 10/100mbs, and Dlink WiFi, with win XP pro SP2. Zero driver problems It's heavy, and thick, it works well enough to do office work, and remote desktop to wirelessly access my main music computer. You did a great job with this. Thanks for sharing.
One thing though, you were lucky to get this laptop unlocked, I had to make a dongle to use in the parallel port to unlock mines when I bought it.
Man your channel is so relaxing, almost hypnotic. I get comfy at the end of the day and this oddly enough helps me unwind tremendously
visaje mis respetos mi papa, esa compu es historia en tus manos
I remember helping a woman with her Windows 2000 computer years ago. I updated it with the latest Windows updates and it worked pretty good. I now own an HP 17" laptop with an SSD upgrade from the original HDD and it still works pretty good with it's 16GB of ram and i7 Intel processor. It doesn't compare well with the latest and greatest laptops except for the 500GB SSD I put in. I'll keep using it until it quits. It is still powerful and fast for its age!
I used to make laptops out of cardboard, using steel wire to make a hinge, I even made some that were a 2 in 1 design. I even made a working CD tray, although the whole laptop was the size of a CD.
Yes!!!!
Glad you used my "make it look horrible" suggestion

I bought a lower end version of the exact same laptop (a 4060XCDT) for exactly 1€ at a boot fair. It comes with a mobile Pentium 2 at 333 MHz, and came with the 128 MB RAM expansion, which unfortunately was defective. The hinge also broke on me, and even after attempting to expoxy it together, it's quite loose. Apart from that, everything works perfectly, even the original 4 GB hard drive, and even the floppy drive! Oh, and the speakers sound absolutely incredible for the age of this laptop. Aesthetically, it's in perfect condition.
laptops: exist
psivewri: i'll take your entire stock
I tell ya, its an addiction restoring old computers. Something satisfying about it. These machines have had so much use in the past, its sad to see them just go straight into e-waste when they could be used for so many other things. Sure maybe they can't run the latest games, but they sure can run games you cannot run on new hardware due to compatibility.
I agree on the designs from the 90's early 2000's
Nowadays laptops just all seem alike. Then, companies just dared to be different now they all just play safe and rarely try anything new.
Mostly the designs is the main power behind my collect vintage laptops hobby.

I remember the second laptop my father ever purchased was a Windows XP era Satellite. That laptop was used for many years, including for his work, my mother’s work, and I even used it as my first ever audio recording laptop. If I’m not mistaken, that unit sits in my tech-savvy younger brother’s closet as a last ditch XP machine if we ever need a computer that runs it 🤣
Teacher: Who invented eucalyptus oil?
Students: Isn’t it obvious? Psivewri!
Cringe.
@@itsourtubenow9729 pretty good description of your self
Ha ha... Lol
Trees did.
Some of the 11" Portege range from that era have the S3 Savage card with 8mb VRAM and also a PIII CPU, I can run up to NFS Porsche on my 3480ct and Quake runs at 1024x768. The downside is they take MicroDIMMs which are more expensive if you want to take them above the base 64mb ram. Can boot via USB floppy too so you just copy the installation folder to a hard drive partition.
Gotta love the old toshiba satellite laptops. Love the design and i even have some myself.
That windows 2000 startup sound brought back so many memories of a more peaceful time to me. Thank you fo including it. And I'm 18 since you said "people of a certain age"
My first laptop (still have it) is a toshiba tecra 8100 from the same time as this. Originally had windows 2000 and upgraded to xp at some point when it was my main computer. A few years ago I put 98 on it as I’d never used that OS before. Thing runs better under 98 than it ever did running 2000 or xp
A few people have mentioned the better compatibility with windows 98. I'm actually putting 98 on there right now :)
I had a nearly identical Toshiba (With some weird 2,5MB 2D GPU) back in 2003. Games like Half-Life 1/Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, Starcraft, Diablo... ran playable on it.
I even tried UT2004 on it when it released and it was able to run it in software mode ... at 3~ FPS.
I swapped it in 2005 with a Gericom, that one had a P3 800 Mhz (Instead of Celeron 400) with 256MB RAM and a ATI Rage GPU (8MB), the D3D support was a "game changer" and even games like Warcraft 3 ran just fine. I got some 54Mbit U.S Robots WiFi card and could use my full internet speed just fine.
I find watching such videos extremely satisfying and nostalgic. I appreciate the effort you're making for TH-cam, cleaning and repairing so many outdated devices that hide so many curiosities. ^ . ^
I knew he had a trusty pocket knife, but this episode was the first time meeting his trusty vacuum cleaner.
This is nostalgic! This was our first ever family laptop!
Windows 98!
Good times!
I'm ashamed to admit it but I knew the good old pizza box trick back in my childhood 😅
Earlier models of these were kind of beige / brown. I had one a long time ago. Those keyboard control mouse was extremely fidgety and a usb mouse was a better solution. That was back around win 95, and those were extremely heavy carting them around and just nice to put it down. That’s the Uk, those didn’t have network connections. Those things did have cds. Although those days far lighter to take a usb stick home than the computer. It was also back in the days of floppy discs and iPhones.
Nice restoration! Most likely it originally shipped with Windows 98 since it only had 64MB RAM installed from factory. Being a relatively mediocre Celeron 400, the Windows 98 SE would be a better choice of OS. Windows 2000 tended to run somewhat slow on anything below 600 MHz even if it had enough (128MB or more) RAM.
Last night I did install 98, found all the drivers as well. Seems to run pretty good 😊
Got distracted by that Titanic model in the background lol
the pizza box thing made me smile omg. used to do that so much as a kid but with chocolates!. turned the lid into a screen and flipped over the plastic insert upside down so it'd turn into a kind of keyboard
Love the cucumber joe shirt lol
Keep up the good work you make great content
Hello @Psivewri, I am 99% sure the heatsink isnt riveted on the CPU board, you need to bend the corner claps on the heatsink or heatspreader to remove it. I have a few Pentium II era notebooks and CPUs in them look like this and can be removed without drilling the rivets
I have the exact same laptop working up to this day. Mostly as running a terminal emulator to administer all home servers.
8:03 i though "HA! you left a spot on the screen!!" but in fact, that was a spot on my own screen, and i confess it still is.
How many laptops actually shipped with Windows 2000? Like the OS only had a shelf life of 2 years before it was overshadowed by XP (which was more fit for laptops anyways), and wouldn’t more people buy a laptop with Windows 98?
XP came in 2001 so not even two years. Personally I liked 2000 more.
2000 was more of a buisness version of windows like previous nt versions me was the consumer release eventually they decided to move from dos to nt with consumer releases that was what xp was
Don't forget about ME...sorry
Mine did. I loved it so much.
I recall 2000 being known for security, and popular with server use & such
Wow I think this is one of those entry level laptops back in the day if it really is from 1999. All laptops coming out in 1999 are supposed to feature a MMC-2 connector supporting the faster pentium II or even III. But at least good to see these older satellite models have some quality in them unlike the wide-screen ones since 2005
Fairly low end, there were lower clocked versions and versions with Pentium IIs up to 400MHz using this chassis. The lowest of the low would still have possibly been fitted with passive matrix displays then!
@@nitrax8629 maybe not in 1999, but you might get a smaller 12.1" SVGA display instead to sell off their aging stocks. I think that's exactly what happens to many aspects of this laptop. This would all be pretty good stuff in 1998 but a MMC CPU and that Trident video card is pretty long in the tooth in 1999.
That startup sound brought back many memories for me. My first PC was a Dell Optiplex GX150, had Windows 2000 on it. I was about 6 or 7 at the time (2007/2008). I had quite a few of those Satellite laptops from that era when I was that age, most of them were found on the side of the road (good old Thursday night throw outs). I remember being given one that belonged to a teenager. Lets just say the hard drive was very full, lots of "homework"... Would've cost a bomb to download all that over dialup!
I actually have a lower end model of that one with a smaller screen. It runs UT99 with no problems at all.
I have that exact same model! Mine has Windows 98 installed. Was thinking of installing OS/2 at some future time.
The fact that you also watch cold ones is part of the reason you are one of the best tech youtubers
I love your restoration videos so much! I’m addicted and appreciate the new life you give to these wonderful gadgets 😌
Back then I recall 2000 being preferred for security & server usage (LANs, and for WWW) for a while in its context early 2000s.. even when XP was around, some people swore by 2000 back then lol. Anyway everything moved on pretty quick.
0:15 but can it run Doom?
which one
@@skiez7430 guess it's Doom1/2.....
The main question is:
Does it play porn?
If it does, then it's still as capable as a new one. 😂😂
As long as you encode it at 240p it will!
Such a lovely piece of work
almost all things in 80s and 90s are in beige color,and at 90s to 00s are in dark gray color... looks beautiful
Archiologist: hey sir is this a primative laptop
Boss: no that is just one of psivewri's pizza boxs
Mad respect for the pizza box thing. I might've done this as well but I can't remember for sure, pizza boxes could be fun though :)
Always lovely seeing these older rigs still hangin' around in 2020! New machines just don't have the same vibe to them...
I remember a movie where a Toshiba laptop very very similar to this one plays a 'big role". I also remember the strange operating system in the movie with green lines of text and a dim sound when the text was filling the screen, line by line. Also there were some 3d-lined vector graphics visualizing, what was happening. I just don't remember the name anymore, had in on VHS.
if i had a laptop like this i would show up with it in my zoology class just to see the looks on people's faces
Ahh brilliant, reminds me of my first work laptop from 2000! My laptop was critical to my job, had absolutely no backup and ran about as well as this one even back then 😂
Playing 3D pinball in front of a DBZ background is perhaps the most late 90s early 2000s computer thing I've ever seen. Lol
Hearing that Windows chimes put tears in my eyes...
Let me put that sound in my Windows 10 laptop.
5:03 oh yeah grip that nut, daddy and don’t forget the eucalyptus oil! 😭
im glad you decided to keep windows 2000 its a rock solid operating system and i like the fact you dont have to activate it like xp. My pc we had growing up had windows 2000 until about 2010 when we got xp and 2000 survived the whole time and kept getting fixed but not totally broken
A few years ago I bought this same laptop (I have the different variant you mentioned with Pentium II). Had already the RAM upgraded to the max 192 MB. The previous owner decided to install Windows XP - was insanely slow - literally 5 mins to boot. Mine has a Y2K ready sticker, haha. The right OS for this machine is Windows 95, the reason I bought it was for DOS gaming. I did some research, this is one of the last laptops with good DOS support - the sound card is Soundblaster compatible so you will have full sound support in DOS mode games. The SB support is not accurate though, in some games it doesn't right, but it's OK. You can use Windows to connect to your network and copy stuff and drop down to DOS to play it, that's what I do with it. Windows gaming on this machine is Minesweeper level games.
Cool video, as always! The part of ruining Windows' visual just cracked me up! LOL!
0:01 Signature look of superiority
I have a slightly newer Toshiba satellite model from 2009 at least that's what I can gather from the BIOS and what the oldest version you can get is

Best retro-tech channel on the TH-cam. Greetings from Poland :)
I love your videos. I know you get that a lot but if you look in my watch history, its just your videos. I only use youtube mainly for your channel. Thankyou for the content. A lot of my computer knowledge comes from you as well. I owe you that
Your videos are great! keep it up! I like how well explained your videos are. About this particular video, I especially enjoy late 90's PC so I enjoyed watching it.
Don't forget to remove the Bios and Clock batteries, I have one of these laptops and the batteries started leaking :(
Nice video.
Hello! Good day!
I hope you are doing well and safe and sound, despite of the challenges we are facing and experiencing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. I am glad to know that you are safe since you are one of the greatest TH-cam video creators I am following and currently subscribed to.
I am a big fan of yours from the Philippines. I am Jerico Alba, a 2nd Year Mass Communication student and I watch how you restore PCs and other devices using your iconic eucalyptus oil and your skills in restoration of PC components (e.g. the laptop from 1990s, and repairing many Macbooks).
However, you told from one of your videos that you have so many laptops that you have restored and you have no idea of where and who to give it to? And have you mentioned that it can be sent to viewers?
I am one of your greatest fans since I subscribed you when you still have less than 100K subscribers, and I love sending likes to your videos. I have also recommended you to my friends and luckily, they are now an avid fan of yours.
I also learned a lot of things in restoring a PC and laptop. However, the profits I earn from fixing them only benefits to our daily livelihood, and I still struggle for online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for I only rent a laptop to use, just to pursue my education.
I hope you can notice my message and be one of the lucky fans that will be able to receive a free restored MacBook :( Moreover, the video was uploaded in September 15, which is my birthday.
I wish you a happy holidays, my friend! If so, this will be very lucky and best holiday for me. Thank you very much and I will still continue to be one of your avid fan no matter what! I love you and your videos! :)
indeed that sound on startup windows was great
Being a bit late on the show, but just discovered your video and had to add some detail.
It looks like a MMC-2 CPU-card you got there on that late 1990's machine. Back during the early-mid 2000's while working on the Pentium-II 233-266MHz ThinkPad 770X/770Z-lineup, it came to my attention that these MMC-2 CPU-cards went up to a Pentium-III 850 SpeedStep processor and that they could be installed, running at 700 MHz though. But still a major improvement.
The modular design of your Toshiba resembles the IBM ThinkPad line quite a lot. The LCD-hinges does look like coming from the same OEM-manufactorer. Instead of using WD40, I'd recommend using TriFlow (lubrication oil with Teflon) or Singer Sewing Machine oil on the hinges.
Thirdly, you should go look for NT 4.0 memory management tweaks. These will work in Windows 2000.
For one, the IoLockLimit tweak should improve performance.
Windows 2000 is an excellent Operating System. My latest W2K driver supported machine is the 2005 range ThinkPad Z60m. With GB's of RAM and a CPU in the GHz-range, Windows 2000 is flying like a Saturn-V.
Good luck and best wishes.
Cheers mate.
I remember seeing a similar laptop from that era running a desktop Pentium/Celeron 4 and a desktop HDD inside , might be a Toshiba I can't be sure, gone are the crazy times.
Came for the laptop restoration, came again for the Cold Ones t-shirt.
@Psivewri try playing the games again using Windows 98 Second Edition. It should help performance.
Won't help much, the graphics chip in these are utter potatoes at 3D.
Great video! Try silicone oil instead of wd40. Sometimes wd40 strips any remaining grease, and makes it worse later on.
I have a Toshiba satellite2065 CDS and the outer casing around the bottom is very similar!
Nice work. Just an FYI, WD40 is great for getting things temporarily moving but a light machine oil should keep it running smoothly for years. Hope part 2 goes well!
Tech stuff is ALWAYS A MASTERPIECE! I especially like what you did as restoring things or making things work again and cleaning things. Made me drooling from the beautiful Tech somehow reach that subscribe button. Congrats on your success btw especially during covid.
those toshes were amazingly well made. You could practically use them as body armor
