Got this i7 x230 today for £5. Beautiful machine, the only issue is, some of the keys don't work. I presume something was spilled on the keyboard because it's sticky. Is there a way to clean it?6mo ⋅ Phoenix_Cluster ⋅ r/thinkpad
Brightness on ThinkPad240X just gave up after I turned it on today. Any ideas why this happened? Everything else works okay, even with external display. When pressing brightness up, the speaker makes a soft grind noise, like feedback. Can it be bad capacitors?2yr ⋅ Phoenix_Cluster ⋅ r/vintagecomputing
Does anyone know what 'bad F-line instruction' when formatting a built-in SCSI drive on Macintosh Classic mean?2yr ⋅ Phoenix_Cluster ⋅ r/VintageApple
ThinkPad 240X with no operating system. Any ideas how to install one? I don't have the propietary CD ROM, and it does not want to boot from usb floppy/DVD. Does anyone know if external USB IBM CD would work with this?2yr ⋅ Phoenix_Cluster ⋅ r/vintagecomputing
PowerBook Duo chimes, but screen stays white with no Apple logo, also no HDD or floppy movement. Before used to work fine. After taking apart, the below parts make a whine sound when I plug the laptop in for about a second and then stop. Are those replecable, or do they have any name? Thanks!1yr ⋅ Phoenix_Cluster ⋅ r/VintageApple
