[WTB OT] CF-1000 (1992!)

#1 Post by flyingfishfinger »

Hi all!
Not sure this is the right subforum since it's not technically a "Toughbook" but a predecessor - the CF-1000. I've got a broke one from my childhood, and I'm hoping to find one I can use for spares / comparisons. I was directed here as a potential place where folks at least know about this machine, so here I am :D
Any leads / clues / ideas?

Cheers,
Rafael

Yup, I've been through the schematic.

When I first opened it, the power LEDs worked but nothing else. So I tried recapping some of the more leaky caps (didn't have parts for all of them), after that I didn't even get the LEDs anymore. So either some of the caps I didn't get to popped, or something else is shorted now. Actually, it now consumes almost zero current when I try it now, so I suspect something shorted open (not a fuse, those are good).

I'll order up a set of correct capacitors and try that, otherwise I think I'm going to need component-level repairs here. Or spares & advice.

Thanks,
R
