ATTN: Dominus is now Mobile!

[Dominus]

Today, I finally got my 486DX4 laptop for $20. It's so **** cool, but it's not even working yet. I need insight as to why this thing isn't posting.

It's fine inside, everything checks out as far as I can see. I took it apart piece by pieve and re-built to fix any loose connections, but no go.

I get a power-on light, and a battery charge light, but nothing else. I get no display, and no HDD activity.

I will soon have some extra RAM to troubleshoot with, but I have no 486DX4-75 CPU to troubleshoot against.

I don't have any experince with laptop repair, and if anyone who does can give me some tips or insight, please do.

Thanks

Good luck ,Dominus. I'll send you my LG Win CE computer when you get that one fixed. It just quit http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif Any ideas???? Checked batteries, seemed ok, maybe it just died. Oh well http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

congrats on your newfound interest in mobility computing.

I'm writing this on my P150mmx laptop so as I speak right now on my comfy bed @ 12midnight, cool!!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Glad I got rid of my geforce ddr. This is way better.

A bit on the slow side, but hey who's complaining... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Good luck with yours.

Yep, mobility is cool...
I bought the Sony VAIO C1-XN 2 weeks ago and it is a great laptop... so small...
