Hi All, I have a problem with a Compaq LTE Lite 4/25E. This model has an Active Matrix Black and White VGA Display as shown in the pictures. From Compaq: This model has a 9.5” (24.1 cm) diagonal COMPAQ UltraView -- a Compaq-exclusive display unique with the COMPAQ LTE Lite Family of notebook...

This is interesting. There's a 8GB drive shown as HDD2 on the main screen. There's only one hard drive installed - the one that's not being detected. And, from what I understand, the secondary IDE port is in the optional docking station. Anyway, nevertheless, the potential replacement drive is...

Interestingly, this LTE 5000 identifies itself as a Deskpro 4000.

Aparently, there's no drive installed. Wierdly, this drive works in every other computer.

There is no log for the existing working hard drive. I just get the Disk and Partitions screen you'd presumably expect with DBAN?

Hi Guys, I bought an IBM external USB floppy drive on eBay. Plugged it into an IBM T30 and it works flawlessly. Then plugged it into my HP laptop. Nothing. Dead. Then tried plugging it into my Lenovo P320 desktop. Nothing. And by the way, I have another USB floppy drive which does work on all...

Hi Guys, I wonder if there's an expert on the board for these old LCD screens. I have a problem with a screen for one of my LTE Lite 4/33c. I have checked everything. Flexcable: Complete continuity. No shorts. No splits. Works fine on my LTE Lite 4/25 model. Screen: Works perfectly in my LTE...

Here is the memory module my SLT/286 has. It's 1MB. See the pictures, they're as clear as I could get.

Replacing Failed Vintage Compaq LTE Lite 4/25 Hard Drive & Compact Flash Card Probs Hi Guys, I've had some real success in the past with replacing old failing hard drives with Compact Flash cards and SSD drives. For example, I've successfully installed a mSATA SSD drive in an old IBM ThinkPad...

I have a Trackmate Floppy Head Cleaner Cartridge, but no utility disk. Does anyone have the utility floppy they could PM me an IMG file of? I'm pretty sure it's abandonware by now.

Hi Guys, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a retired guy from the UK. I have a keen interest in vintage Compaq IBM compatible machines including the early SLT, LTE, 306 etc series as well as the Elite and 5000 LTE series. The purpose of joining is that I have many years experience with these...
