Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
Just saw two vintage thinkpads for sale in the local market. A 555BJ(the one with bubble jet printer) and a 330C(the non-black one). Both in working condition and at the same price, CN¥680, i.e. about $110. Saving money now...not enough spare money now
Both rare machines....I have tried searching for either of them in the forum but got nothing.
Which do you want to see most? I am waiting for the advice from you all about which one to buy first

Both of course! But I see thinkwiki.org has no pictures of the 330C so I'm voting for itjack_zhan wrote:Which do you want to see most?

Re: Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
I wished I could get both too! However I have only less than CN¥400 on my credit card now, and I am only a student working part-time, so I still need some time to gather enough money to buy the first one. It seems few local people have interest in those things, so let's wish I could buy both before one of them is sold.Tasurinchi wrote:Both of course!
P.S. I noticed the 330C page is totally blank...here is some specifications I found about the one being sold:
5523-JJW
IBM 486SLC2 50Mhz processor
4MB RAM standard, one slot, 12MB max
340MB IDE hard disk
1 Type I/II PCMCIA slot
Built-in non-removable 3.5" floppy drive
9.5 in TFT mono LCD
I'll look for a picture for the page on Japanese websites.

Re: Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
Bad news friends
I am sorry to say that, but my 701C had its entire LCD assembly broken off during recent use, so I must work on repairing it now. The previous owner/maintenance crew used glue to repair a crack near the left hinge, and excessive glue went into the hinge, therefore jamming the hinge and leaving it constantly damaging the bezel and the top cover . Now finally the entire upper part is broken off .
So in order to repair the 701C, with cracked top cover and bezel, a bad hinge, and a top system board with two battery contacts lost, I need to use my money to buy a "for parts" 701CS I recently found on the Internet. When I finish repairing and get enough money again maybe both the 330C and the 555BJ are no longer there

Re: Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
Jack-Zhan,
Is the 555BJ still there?
Does it have an HDD installed?
If YES, then please send me a PM.
Best wishes,

Sorry for the necropost, and probably offtopic, but I found a Thinkpad 330C for sale for less than $20. Do you think I should get it?

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Well, I paid for it. Now I have to wait for it patiently as it's 8500 kilometer away from ne
As I'm not really interested in keeping it for long, I'll probably have it out for sale after I revive it (or I don't).
I'm wondering if there is a potential demand for it.

Re: Any 555BJ or 330C in the forum?
Got my 330C!! Really nice machine. It's 5523-JVB model (almost top) http://www.inversenet.co.jp/pclist/prod ... 2DJVB.html The only difference is that the top model has 8Mb onboard memory and mine has 4.
Overall it's in a very good condition, just needs a good cleaning. Nothing is cracked or broken, all lids are in their places. Looks like nobody has tinkered with it - has both the HDD and additional 8Mb card in place. It also has a bult in power adapter, but it's for 110V. Will try to power it up as soon as I get a voltage converter.
Will make some photos later on.
