Does anyone have manuals for the Manuals for Samsung 386S 25E NOTEMASTER?
The site owner / webmaster of

MacDat Laptop Portal​

provided me with some useful information, which was great. I did see the SAMS service manual was available and I will gladly pay for it, if I can get the machine up enough to know if the display is good or the system is completely wasted. I don't want to pay $35 if I can't use it. Any user manuals would be helpful. I saw a couple of posts which tipped me on the BIOS page access & settings. I don't know how to get to the batteries yet.
So any help would be helpful.
 
Okay. I found the manual. Whew. It came with the notebook. It talks about a battery pack replacement case that you can put in 8 AA batteries. If I could just find out the 3 electrical tabs on the old NiCAD case, I could probably build a working AA case. There are 3 tabs labeled +, - and common. So I'm guessing the - and + will be the 12v. Not sure what the common is used for.
Maybe this weekend I'll use my power supply and see if it boots with the 12 volts applied to the +/-.
