HP 9123D and HP 150-2

[scatpack]

I bought this as a prop but decided to see what I could do with it. After looking at vintage computer sites I got the bug. Ha...

Anyway I need to find the power cord. I have it somewhere. When I first got it it would power on but I didn't know what to do with it. The disc drive is just that, a disc drive. The monitor is the computer I assume. I was hoping someone with knowledge of these could help.

thanks

Oh I also have a HP 110 I need to learn also.

I have never used an HP 150 Touchscreen or HP 150 Touchscreen II myself.

If you don't have any manuals for it you can find a good collection of reference information here:

And the Portable 110 here:

Anyone have a power cord for this computer?

 

[SpidersWeb]

I don't have one, but from a google image search, it just looks like it has a standard 3 pin IEC socket (so any normal computer power cable will work just fine).
Or does yours have some unusual socket on it?

 

[scatpack]

a triangle looking 3 pin, yes. Most newer computers don't take this type. Where can I find one then? ebay is no help

this should work.

Do you have a Walmart near you or a computer store? IEC power cords are very common and generally under $10. I think going to a retail store would make it easier to confirm the end matches what you have and returns without shipping cost have advantages.

I thought that was the most common power cord for desktop power supplies and has been for something like 40 years.

I'll take pictures of them and try that.

I want to see what I can do with them.

this should work.

Isn't that just the standard power cord that most computer people have boxes full of them? What I am short of is cords with C15 connectors with the notch in them for higher power systems.

this is the 110. weird 2 pin plug

According to this FAQ the HP Portable 110 used the 82059D 6V AC adapter. That is what plugs into that weird 2 pin socket. It is NOT a 120V AC input.

Currently there are several 82059D AC adapters listed on eBay around $25, while sold history shows them selling around the $10-$15 range.
