    I noticed in some of your PB Legend videos that your battery is intact. That's genuinely pretty awesome, but you should still remove it anyway. There's an external battery header on these boards, so keeping RTC intact shouldn't be an issue, but at this point most of these machines have succumbed to RTC battery damage. My own PB430 (later 3x3 model - yours looks like a PB400 4x4?) had its battery leak pretty badly, which basically ruined the logic board (short of basically reconstructing a pretty large chunk of the RTC and memory controller circuits), and there's maybe one or two people who've successfully managed to repair any of these. I get wanting to keep it original, but that battery is not long for this world even if you got lucky. (ETA: sourcing a logic board that isn't similarly battery-bombed, no matter which generation of 486 Packard Bell, is nearly impossible unless you switch to a Pentium board. I've tried, believe me. Your machine uses a 4x4 riser, so at least getting a PISA riser for a Pentium swap isn't nearly as painful as my 3x3 was, but you have a chance to keep it with the original board.)

    • @urzamaster
      @urzamaster 15 годин тому

      Great minds think alike. I've got a few other logic boards with dead, leaky batteries and I'm going to be attempting repairs, but I absolutely will be replacing this one. I'm going to get a similar replacement, I've seen some options online that seem pretty reasonable. There are also some interesting Lithium Ion packs you can get these days. Great tip though and 100% almost impossible to save these after a battery fails.

    I have a similar Compaq Presario (SR1110NX). It even has the 3.5" floppy drive. However, mine has a 325 Intel Celeron D Processor (not sure of the GHz), 256 MB ram and a 40 GB hard drive. When I was trying to do a system restore on it, I discovered *after* the OS was removed that the recovery discs no longer worked (they had been made when the computer was new). Do you think that recovery discs made from *your* computer would work on mine? Or do you have any advice on how to find recovery discs that would work (eBay? trustworthy sites?)

Very similar to what you have. Used it for about 3 years then put it away. Afterwards I sold it about a couple of years ago with the HP 19" monitor and color printer that it came with for $100 bucks.

    Why not stack the systems on a low profile riser about an inch or two off the carpet and mount the switch on the wall next to the devices? You would need a spacer for the ones you stack on top, but it would be closer to a poor mans server rack, better airflow, less dust and debris from the carpet and less cable mess/routing for the hard-line connections. Also, more space under the desks for chairs, feet, whatever.

Since it doesn't have a flashback button, I'm ordering a legacy Ryzen chip that worked with factory release. Then we will see if this works!
