I recently bought a ThinkPad 760XL laptop off craigslist for $35. Im really impressed with the machine over my other Pentium w/ MMX laptop which is a Gateway with an awful passive matrix screen. The battery even holds a charge and works for roughly 2 hours at the minimum I would guess. I've been having issues with the ESS 1688 chip that's built in to the laptop. Some times it works just fine, and other times it just doesn't work but it shows up in the Windows 98 device manager screen with a yellow exclamation mark. I've been trying for awhile now to fix the audio as I would like to use this laptop to play some older DOS games as the screen on this laptop is pretty nice for the time frame it came out as it is an active matrix screen. Does anyone have any ideas I could try?
