I'm trying ro repair a very vintage [B]Toshiba T1100[/B] "the first laptop ever" circa [B]1984[/B].
This is a 80c88 with 256KB of ram, no hard disk. Boots a DOS2.11 on floppy.

The unit is in pristine state externally and internally, it suffered minor leakage from the battery but i've cleaned it and neutralized.

However it POSTs merely one time out of 10.
So the unit "works" (and boots from floppy etc) it's just extremely unreliable.

This kind of ancient unit [B]powers out of the battery[/B], I mean, it does not work without...

Hello Everyone and greetings from Belgium,

I'm fixing vintage toshiba laptops, I've got quite a few of them (2130, 420, 720, etc )

I'm now in the process of fixing T1100 which seems quite a challenge as it seems the entire T1100/T1200 is a bit cursed. I'll get to the bottom of it, and it may require... recapping a bit
