    the sticker screw cover removal (for the LCD bezel) hurt my soul..... a trick that ive been using for years now is to get a thin razor and a hair dryer. blast the stickers with some heat and very gently use the razor to slide under the stickers in order to remove them without mangling them up and making them look trashed. You can put the stickers on parchment paper while youre working inside the screen assembly, then heat the the sticker area again and re-apply the sticker

      I'll keep that in mind next time I have a similar project!

      Please be careful if using a hair dryer on the laptop! I melted the keys on my Libretto 50CT this way...
      They are not easy to make replacements for.
      But removing the keyboard and placing it aside solves that problem :)

    Pretty cool to have hardware like that in such a tiny form. I think the damages can't be helped with the state of the plastic.
    I am working on restoring two Highscreen 386 pc's, but it is currently on hold until I have a Gotek. Since I am running out of working diskettes that I can put disk images on.

    Good I remember going to the store and looking at the windows CE devices and thinking this would be cool. Got myself one off eBay last year. Thankfully somebody also gave me a libretto 70CT I can confirm I am running off a CF card I don't remember the size offhand I think it's 256MB, and have the/A original hard drive. Them things are neat and I was shocked to know that mini computing exists outside the US!

    How did you get the Libretto’s drivers into it without having the PCMCIA slot working?
    I’m stuck there right now and IDK what should I do next

    Oh supposedly originally there was a special formatting Utility as it has a suspend to disk function which can erase data as it arbitrarily picks a medium space on the disk. Originally the extra formatting Utility would leave a gap at that spot.

      It's not a "Two girls one cup" situation!
      It's an older site about a dog. The girls posted things about the dog, but the dog died in 2009 and they kept it as a memorial =(

    Very sad you shoved a too big hdd in there. I have a few of these, mostly in good condition, and this is one of those no-no's.
    EDIT: 05:52 that is completely your fault, you are too rough, and should've looked out for that specifically because you took out the screws. Really, be a little more careful, these things are very well loved, by a lot of people.
    EDIT MORE: I'm actually stopping to watch. You absolutely do NOT have to manhandle it like 06:22 etc, seriously you don't. Take your time, feel for resistance, use a service manual to know where the clips are, and take more time. Damn man, what a waste.

    • @TheEricExperiment
      @TheEricExperiment  10 месяцев назад

      Oh, I take full responsibility for my mistakes there haha
      I didn't realise at 5:52 when I was lifting the screen that that was loose like that, it was too late when I heard that crack.

      It is annoying, distracting and competes with the commentary.
