I bought an old MTG box from an online vinyl shop for 45USD. There were some notables inside, including a near-mint Phyrexian Dreadnought and a Volrath's Stronghold. Thanks for sharing!

Woo hoo! Some Presarios are still chugging, including one from 2004, albeit a faster but hotter Celeron! The extended RAM test and diagnostics check on these is pretty thorough and a hidden F6 battery charge test too. Any idea how to debloat a Plop manager imoacted BIOS, i cant into Windows XP, only Linux variants like Antix and Debian, and Antix is way faster than XP SP 3 on this! Also the clock doesn't sync on this bad battery antix pc!

I was trying to figure out how to adapt or get another machine to recover it. This was before I found this small scene, otherwise I would've held onto it the best I could. Since you do PS/2 stuff, do you have any tips or advice on running LCD monitors from these machines? I have a Model 60 (big tower) that I tried to start, but I get a display error. I have no CRT monitor, and am getting a long beep and two short beep error. Trying to figure out if it's the LCD not displaying, or the port on the motherboard is bad.

That is a very old laptop, doubt it's worth worrying about. If you drop the hard drive out of the case it is in, it should be SATA connector. You need to take the keyboard out, there are screws under there. Yeah, it's junk but pulling it apart still could be fun. You should find a little bezel strip above the keyboard or there will be little notches to place a flat head screw drive to pop the keyboard and there is about 6 odd screws there. They were always a real pain to tear down due to the keyboard covering the screws real east to damage the keyboard the first few times stripping one down.
