    Vintage PC stuff search.

    Recently I was trawling through ebag looking for quality 386DX stuff. Especially boards like American Megatrends, yes the AMI BIOS maker, and does have trademark on one or more silkscreened on their designed chipsets. I had this 386DX 25 with cache long ago. What a speedy board.

    Also I am looking for PS/2 model 70 (8570) or 60, 80 (8560 or 8580) tower.

    Is there other ways to find old good stuff, all I find is generic board scraps on ebay for 486 and 386 boards.

    Any reputation on Micronics motherboards? I barely heard of them even long ago.

    Cheers, Wizard

      I've had a few micronics boards back in the socket 7 days. Was never overly impressed with them, they always seemed to be quirky.

      As for the vintage parts search, ebay and craigslist will be your best bet.

          Wow, the last time I used a PS/2 model 70 was back in 1995 running OS/2 Warp with a DOS window box running Mosaic and Netscape 0.x!!

          If you enjoy that stuff, there is a guy (uxwbill) on youtube that chats about PS/2s. http://www.youtube.com/user/uxwbill

          Unfortunately for you, a search of ps/2 nowadays leads to playstation 2s.

          edit: Try your local freecycle group. You would be amazed at what people will give you if you ask nicely.

              I used to use Micronics motherboards in custom Netware servers, they were always reliable for me. Wow, that's a while ago..

                  Re: Craigslist: this is really bad here and also to see the idiocy of vehicles selling, 99% are dealer/shops selling used vehicles, I'll start with computers first then vehicles;

                  http://kingston.en.craigslist.ca/cta/

                  kijiji is bit better but keep in mind this is owned by ebay for people don't have to pay a fee to ebay & is by local areas. I can find some promising leads on computers and vehicles but not as good. Also I find kijiji more risky, could be selling stolen items.

                  So you can see this situation is not nice. There was a store years ago that sells classic computers and parts and I was overjoyed but that one closed up.

                      well....if you can wait a couple years....according to the powers that be in the FAA...there will be about 800 ps/2s available.

                      oooo....not sure which model though.....

                          Some of you have helped me in the past and I am very appreciative of all the help! (I have fixed TVs/Stereos/ and other small appliances with your efforts...Thanks so much!!!

                          In Search of Schematic/Boardview for Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14ALC7
                          by AustinCER
                          Hello,

                          I am in search of a schematic or boardview for Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14ALC7.
                          No power and no charging LED with AC Adapter connected. AC Adapter is functioning at 19V, and also tried another Lenovo AC Adapter -- no charging LED still.

                          There is an active 19V from the USB-C port to the motherboard with AC Adapter connected, so the port is also fine. I am assuming there is a short on one of the power rails, but don't know where to start looking.
                          Any insight, schematic or boardview would be greatly appreciated.

                          Model: Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14ALC7...

                          by DrDos
                          Hello all. I'll try to keep this short. I have no knowledge of electronics. I can use a multimeter and am familiar with caps to some extent. I bought a Kenwood KR-6030 vintage stereo. It need work and so I thought I would recap the thing since I get power to the on switch but nothing else is working. No lights, no sound and so forth. I went to Mouser to order caps and I find I am way over my head. I not only do not know the type of capacitors I need but Mouser and digikey do not accept Kenwood part numbers. I have the info such as 220uF 63v and such but no place to put it. I could buy a recap...
