Is anyone aware of somewhere or someone that would repair a computer CRT in the Midwest still? I am located in Central IL. I have a IBM P275 and Viewsonic (P-something?) that could use some fixing. The IBM runs fine for the most part but the colors seem a bit washed out and the brightness is a...
I have recently built an older Win95 computer. Its has a Crystal Audio Card in it. Everything works fine except there is a CD Audio issue that I can not figure out. I do have the CD audio cable coming from the back of the CD drive into the sound card. All the drivers are setup and the CD...
I am trying to power up an Aptiva 2161 system board with a 300gl 6282 PSU. They are rated at the same wattage the only thing is that the 300gl does not include the 3 pin power connector required on the 2161 board (at least not directly). The 300gl PSU does have two 3 pin connectors but it does...
I was curious if the separate floppy/cd access stations for the Aptiva Stealth split-system models are interchangeable between the 2159 and 2162 models? From what I can see the access station itself looks nearly identical for each. However, I did notice, after looking through the hardware...
I am looking for a recovery disc for the IBM Aptiva 2162. Would be fine with an ISO file if possible. I have copies for the 2159 and 2142 but can’t seem to find any for the 2162 split systems.
I was getting tired of having to dig for the system variation specs of all the U.S. Aptiva split systems so I made it easy for anyone else who gets OCD over small portions of computer history like me 😀.
I created this excel file with a complete, as I know it, list of these models just to share...
Sorry I posted this in the Pentium section but meant to post here...
Was able to get a 17" Aptiva Stealth Series monitor recently but it lacks the stand that allows it to sit over the top of the media dock that this model of Aptiva comes with. Was wondering if anyone has one available or knows...

I have a Tseng ET4000AX video card that I recently got off eBay. It works well other than the fact that it displays a few weird text characters. For example: instead of \ it shows Ð and instead of @ it shows Ż. Is there any way to change this back to the normal character set in the bios?

I am looking to buy an original Sound Blaster Pro. Any variant of the CT1330 would do. It is the final card I am looking for to complete my 1991 computer build. Thanks for the help!
I have an original Pentium "Batman" MB. It will make it to the Keyboard Detected line but will freeze right after. Wont get past this and occasionally it will not show anything on the screen at all. I have tried several different video cards, ram, and power supplies. All result in same...
