T-21: curiouser & curiouser

[Rletson]

The comatose T-21 awoke again, temporarily.

It had been quite unresponsive--just the power light coming on--so after it sat for a few days, unplugged, I swapped in the battery from the new-used T-23 and it powered up, showed the splash screen, and got partway through a Win2000 bootup. Then stopped. I plugged it in, got the splash, pushed F1 to look at the setup--and it froze. Unplugged, pulled the battery, replugged, powered up, got all the way through the bootup, and then it froze completely--had to pull the plug to reset.

What is going on here? First I thought it was loose inductors, but now I don't know what to think. Should I hold its hand and read to it?

The new-used T-23 is going fine, though, after a tedious afternoon of reloading apps and files.
