Re: 1998 Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS/4.3 Will not stay on!
Also, the dip switches are right next to the CPU underneath the keyboard. No reset jumper anywhere.

Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds
Probably a fuckton of server equipment. These people were throwing out an entire hosting company. Of course, all the servers were old, so I only kept one IBM server and all the rest of the firewall/NAS/switch stuff went to scrap (couldn't be sold). Even throwing out the rack mount. I kept about 3 tiny HP desktops they were throwing out as well. Later on, they asked for our phone number because they had more, and when they called us, they had 3 matching monitors for the desktops, and a few laptops. Back in 2012, some dude down the street threw out a ton...Leave a comment:

1998 Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS/4.3 Will not stay on!
I love old computers, so I purchased a Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS off eBay in MINT CONDITION with the carrying bag and a mouse! It came from the original owner, they never had issues with it. It had worked great for the past few months, but last night, I restarted from Windows 98 to Windows 2000, and it got stuck booting 2000. No big deal, old computer, I thought. So I restarted it, and it worked for about 3 minutes, then shut off! It then started to turn on (fan at top speed, some hard drive activity) then it shuts back off. Back on, back off. Stays on for about 3.5 seconds each time, off for... -
Re: Who made these little TVs?
I think it's the backlight - it's a CCFL! Oh, and I decided to smash the 5 inch TV open (because I have many of these tvs) and there is a logo on the main board that says "HS"Leave a comment:

Re: Who made these little TVs?
I found a Trinitron color portable TV in the trash, so I use that as a test monitor! (And yes, it worked!) And yes the wall wart is UL Listed.Leave a comment:

Re: Who made these little TVs?
All of those 2.5 to 3 inch pocket TVs were made by Casio, even the RadioShack and RCA ones! And yeah, it's a rebadge, they are all rebadges, if I wanted a "Pisstronics" TV I could just peel off the sticker and write "PISSTRONICS" with a Sharpie.
Leakage current? Sorry, I'm not too fluent with high voltage things.

Re: Who made these little TVs?
It doesn't appear to have one. I could try the DHHS.
Yeah, Coby manufactured products but did not make this.Leave a comment:

Who made these little TVs?
You know, those el-cheapo 5" B&W TV sets. They're everywhere and under a million different brand names. They were widely available new until the DTV switch over, and even though they (AFAIK, one Chinese company might still manufacture them) stopped making them, they are still widely available new in box. The brands I remember the most are Coby and Spectra. The Coby ones were at Wal-Mart for $14.99. There were some Sylvania ones, Suntone, jWIN, and many more. In 2009, I was 5. We were at my dad's friend's house in Plano. He collected TVs, and still does and wants us to come over! Before... -
