Hello all,
My brothers were cleaning out my parents garage the other day and ran across an IBM 5155 Portable PC. It appears to be in decent condition; however, when I try to turn it on, the floppy drives flash once and then nothing happens. I took off the cover and looked around a little bit inside. I was surprised to see how good of a condition the inside was considering the PC has been sitting in a garage for 15+ years. I'm wondering where to start with troubleshooting turning it on? Obviously power is getting to the computer since it at least flashes once. I was wondering if the fuse on the power supply could be bad?
Any thoughts would be great!
Thanks
