I've had it!!!! !!! I swore I'd never get anything but an IBM and this POS has reinforced that thought.

A friend, (yeah...right) gave me this with intermitent lock-up problems. Sure enough, it would about once a week. I ended up buying a used mobo for $89.00 on eBay. That didn't fix it either. Also tried a different HDD, nadda again. Needless to say, I'm through, it's over, stick a fork in me I'm done!!!!!

No memory.
No HDD
Screen has a "dent" on it.
Some pressure marks on screen.

NO resonable offer refused!!!!!!!!!

Post or PM me.........................please......

Pending deal is in the works

This-------is---------tempting as I always wanted to try one of these Compaqs................

Are you sure your up to "pain & anguish of biblical proportions"?

Well, since you're bring this PAIN thing up, I did use to own a Packard-Bell home computer....


So, I do know about pain and anguish..

What are the problem with it? Did not power on?

It always powered on. Most of the time it would random lock while I was away so I never actually saw what was happening. To unlock it, had to hold down the "blue" standby button and slide the power switch. If I put it into standby, it would usually come out of it and work OK. Then once, (for a day and a half), it locked, I rebooted and the splash screen was real small, like it lost all it's driver info. After screwing with it for a couple of hours, I came back the next day and it booted fine, (later it locked up again). The last few days, it would random lock, and lastly, it started locking when I pushed the standby button.

"If I didn't need ya, over the North hill you'd go"........

This was actually just a spare of a spare but I hate things that don't work the way they're suppose to. The HDD and memory went into the T22 I got off of that bruce guy on eBay. It works like it should, true IBM form.
