got a Compaq portable286 and a apple pb180, both stored in a non climate controlled area doth "oh they worked 14 years ago" well both don't work now. 286 is main focus here got all the panels off trying to find the fuse or what ever audibly popped when i hit power but having quite a hard time getting in I've been in a plus and a regular Compaq portable. any ideas how to get the power supply out? me and my torxdriver await your replies.
 
well i have got to the power supply and theres is apparently nothing wrong...visably unless its in the monitorwhich i have majorly failed at removing. might just see if i can shove the 286 board in a 8086 unit.
