I love those old IBM products... I have quite a few old IBM thinkpads, For a long time i used an old IBM thinkpad T41, I took that thing everywhere and let everyone use it, it got dropped, knocked around, and just basically abused in many ways... it also had it's share of spills onto it as well, but that machine never skipped a beat, and i still have it... When Lenovo took over everything went down hill, the new thinkpads are okay, definitely better than an HP or something like that, but nothing can beat the old true IBM stuff... I also have an old thinkcentre s51 used as a file server that has been on 24/7 besides being restarted a few times for going on 5 years now.
I do too, they were top quality machines. I'd say they were still pretty solid under Lenovo up until 2013, there weren't many models I cared for after that. They seemed to loose a lot of durability and were not as reliable.
How. Just, what even. Unless the CMOS battery was dead that's surreal. And seemingly no water even seeped into the hard drive through the air hole or other such small openings, because such would never dry out.
All the upset from the BIOS at the beginning would lead me to believe the battery is probably long dead by now. The drive still working, that I have no explanation for other than it being pure quality.
Wow, that's incredible that it works! Sucks to see about the LCD panel, I don't know how easy it would be to replace, shame that a flash flood ruined so much.
Will record if there is one, at bare minimum the screen will need to be replaced. As much as I'd like to save it, I'm not sure if it's worth putting money into it, it's probably all corroded inside.

I suspect the most difficult part will be sourcing a new CLD.
Woah, An old IBM with an intel centrino processor.
By the way, how old is this?
If I didn't mention it in the video, then I don't know exactly. Probably early-mid 2000s would be my guess.
@@JordanU I thinked that too.
It can be found in the bottom.. at the label type..the last 4 digit..(yy/mm) it should be arround 2005
Hope to see an update on this computer.

My Dell laptop is water damaged and it does not work and I tried to fix it
Not good.
I honestly don't know what to say about this video...🙂 Good job😉. I already know what you are going to say. OK.
That doesn't make sense.
@@JordanU Close enough :)
@@Daniel_S.284 Don't waste time. Time is valuable.
Can you do an initial checkout on the Cisco CP7940G IP Phone?
No.
Please explain why.
@@handletbd No.
Ok then, if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it.
No one’s stopping you from not doing it.
@@handletbd I know.
i like it
OK
I have both old HP laptops, one with windows 7 and other windows 10 it stopped working.
No surprise there.
Meanwhile I spilled a bit of water on a modern calculator and it failed
Equipment simply isn't made like it used to be.
