Its a hobbie to some people to take things apart and see whats inside, i love doing that! its one of my favorite hobbie to do other then read sleep and use my computer.
@AngelofLoveOne Listen: even you wouldn't have been able to use it. The video card had been completely worn out; when I opened it up, I found burn marks inside and it smelled like burnt plastic. The video card looked rather melted as well.
I changed the processor , but this motherboard only support the fsb 66mhz and not 100mhz; the configuration was the next, the amd k6-2 550mhz is 100x5,5 and only support was 66x5,5 (366mhz) the max suport is 66*6 (400mhz) amd k6-2 with multi of 6.... anyway I sell this note ;( (without cache L2 is a sh*t today)
(Sorry for replying to an old comment, BTW) Well, the on-board graphics chip was screwed, and it wasn't really a replaceable one. After all, it was a piece of junk anyway and I wasn't planning on using it, but storing it away safely and make it a Collector's Item in maybe 20yrs. That won't happen now :P
I would definitely not know it. The only thing that I do know, is that the computer was broken anyway, and that it could not be repaired. So, nobody would ever ask me that.
Note that I do not feel responsible for any damage to either you or the laptop. And that this was my first disassembly of a laptop EVER, so I was very unexperienced back then.
It was not usable any more anyways: the video card was broken, and no parts are available any more for this computer.
By the way: I don't think that you even would've wanted this thing. It was slow, the specs are low (even for Windows 98), you can't even browse YouTube with it, and it's... heavy.
I would have been happy to send it to you, but it's already too late ;)
Grr, sorry I keep posting at the top, I can't reply even when I click the reply button on your comment. It always goes to the top. The thing defiantly doesn't look good but its nice for my first laptop mod. I'm pretty pleased with it.
I have a Compaq Presario 1245 and I'm pretty sure the hard-drive is toast. I keep getting input/output errors, and I formatted multiple times. Since I'm unfamiliar with taking apart laptops, I'll partially copy what you did and see if I have a hard-drive the right size. If not, I'll just follow a tutorial I found on turning it into a stand up 2nd monitor (screen goes were the keyboard and touch pad are). Wish me luck, and thanks for the walk-through.
You can buy so called 'laptop hard drives' at your local computer store.
Make sure you find a hard drive which isn't bigger than 20GB, because that's the maximum amount of hard drive space the BIOS of the machine can handle.
Put it in the slot, put everything back on it's place and it should work.
Took it apart with very little breakage, except for the speakers (stripped screws). Man, I couldnt believe the size of the hard-drive :). I took out everything except for the motherboard, then put back in the stuff I needed, and super glued the moniter on top of it all. The proccessor got really hot at one point, didn't know what a heat sink was and left it out :(. Then I made a custom knoppix live cd distro to boot and make it act as a second moniter. Mission success, thanks for the video.
Oh wow, that's cool. The hard drive really is tiny, isn't it?
As far as your story goes, it sounds very, very cool. I think you'll have much pleasure with it; the possibilities are nearly impossible with Linux distro's...
Be sure to put the heat sink back ;)
I'm glad that I was able to help you with this time-lapse video.
It is, but all kinds of capacitors on the main board died, and the data cable to the LCD-screen was burned, so... the laptop wasn't usable any more...
That's cool. Not everybody is unlucky as me, because it really was a great laptop. But yeah, you can't do anything with it if you have dead capacitors... and I didn't want to let it repair any more; it's almost 12 years old now.
Hey, Staplednote! Install Ubuntu Linux and make that laptop sit up and take notice! Type Ubuntu and old computer in the search bar. Linux isn't a ram and processor resource hog like Windoze! (You can game too! Don't let anybody tell you different! Look up Ubuntu and gaming on here.
Well, you must be meaning Xubuntu, since this computer is from 1997 and doesn't has really much RAM, so it is better to stick with Xubuntu. It has the same features, but is lighter.
Lol! I have a 1997 IMB Thinkpad A20 running a first-generation Pentium III.
It was running Windows 98 but the stupid previous owner stuck Windows XP on it. It really doesn't work well with 128MB RAM. I'm thinking of sticking Windows 95 on it to bring it back to its year (thats the closest I can get to windows 98)
brings me back to the first time i took my laptop apart.
nice vid.
mine died and it was an easy fix for someone that can look outside the box.
u know what was wrong with it?
the plug that powers and charges it was broke, i took it apart and gave it my special touch and never had a prob since and didn't have to replace the part.
hi thank to help me by video for change one hadd on the compaq presario 1245!

asrock6100 1 year ago
I think you can. If the pins on the processor match the ones on the socket (the place where you'd stick the processor in), you can definitely do it.
But why would you do it anyway? The laptop has no value any more - you won't get much more speed out of it.

Yeas, it needs to be a laptop drive, since normal desktop drives simply won't fit in those old systems. They still sell the laptop drives, though.
