Yes they look good. But the shipping cost is a killer, I also have a 24% vat when items arrive and I have to do customs clearance, so total for 3 tiny fans would be approximately 3.60+20 = 23.60 x3 = 70 + 24% = 86 Euro.

Hi all, I have two working T3200 and one parts machine, and I'd like to get the working ones a bit less noisy. So I wanted to replace the 3 fans it has inside. But I'm struggling to find anything that fits, so wanted to ask if anybody has done the same swap? Original fans are branded "Wind...

Sorry, no floppy drives to spare 🙏

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. I have since used this T3200 as a parts machine for two other T3200, that now both still run on their original HDD. So if anyone need some parts, let me know, I might have it.

Hi guys, did any of you get the VP1000 to work? What can it do? I'm looking at one for sale for 30€, but it has no floppy on the front.

Ok, so here's how mine is acting now on bootup. New BIOS battery installed. Should I try installing a new chip with "new" BIOS, or is my RAM memory fried? 🤔 Really would appreciate any leads on what to do next...

I am having the exact same issue as you have, but my screen doesn't even flicker when turning on. A week ago I replaced the gas plasma screen, and computer was booting up to some memory error. At that time I had the old flat CMOS battery in the laptop, but now I have replaced it for a new...

Wow, Thank you very much for that in-depth analysis. I'll be back here as soon as the new 3.6V battery is in.

Hi all, So I decided to get started on my T3200, have not touched it since getting delivery. I took it apart for an internal cleaning. Still waiting for a new 3.6V lithium battery. So, when I start the machine, there is a memory test going to 600-something Kb. Some beeps. Next is this message...

If this thread is considered "dead", my answer might be deleted.... Just wanted to mention that there are other ways to get other/bigger/CF/SSD to work in the T3200 / T3200SX. https://medium.com/geekculture/the-luggable-laptop-how-does-it-look-today-part-ii-toshiba-t3200-from-1989-6d15ce56eadd

Okay, I just thought that caps go bad with time. I had a dead T1000LE, made a full recap of about 15 small caps and it now works again.

Hi, Has anybody done a full recap on the T3200, and if so would you happen to have the details on what caps? It would be so handy to order the caps in advance. Thanks a lot!! Tom

Ok thanks, that's what I meant but my English is not so good... I was just thinking if there was a need to add some component to the battery circuit.

Hello and thank you for the help! The battery, is it a direct swap? I think I'll order the same. Oh I know Allegro, I'm there lurking often for vintage equipment :) I suppose I have a gum like belt as well, so if the belt works, please if you can share the details on it later...🙏

I'm looking for any suitable, working 8 or 16bit ISA card for my 1989 Toshiba T3200. Graphics, sound, networking or anything else "cool". TIA!
