Geez, what a nightmare...
got this 100LX on eBay, linkage HERE
$70 BIN, seller described it as "Here's a good HP 100LX for you. It runs well. The backup coin battery is running low, the double A's are new.
It runs tons of DOS software, I have QBasic loaded on it right now. It runs many older freeware compilers fine.
It has a PCMCIA slot and is compatible with type I and II. I've used Newton cards with it, as well as sandisk cards with a PCMCIA adapter. There's 1MB on board."
seller said "Here's a good HP 100LX for you."
Here's a photo walkthrough of this nightmarishly abused beastie:
Pix to cry over
There's a whole rightside hinge cover missing, left hinge is cracked.
..."Here's a good HP 100LX for you."
There is a, get this, HUUUGE piece of PACKING TAPE on the bottom holding the entire bottom and battery cover on!
..."Here's a good HP 100LX for you."
The whole battery compartment is cracked, so if you are changing batteries, the center divider pops sideways, and the cracked sidepanel pops out
..."Here's a good HP 100LX for you."
The PACKING TAPE has been on so dang long, the impression of the words on the bottom of the casing are PRESSED INTO THE TAPE!
..."Here's a good HP 100LX for you."
Oh, and get this, he seller wants ME TO PAY TO SHIP IT BACK TO HIM!
What a friggin thief....
Photos were carefully taken to hide the defects, and even the missing hinge cover happens to be obscured by the photo hoster's logo... how convenient!
Oh, and last but not least, it was put into a PADDED ENVELOPE and dropped into US Mail. Padded envelope.
Pictures tell it all....
