So I've been on a PB100 kick... Recapping a 100 right now.. still waiting on the new caps.. I've chosen Tantalums except 3 electrolytics.. I've done the display board as it needed 2... one Sony one had leaked.. the 15/16 cap.. Here it is almost completed.. And I found a company that still had PB100 memory in stock.. I bought the last 5 modules.. they are 4mb's.. but I plan to place the 658512LTT-8 chip's in the 4 blank areas to bump it to a whopping 6mb.. and with 2mb onboard I will have total of 8... I washed the board down with 91% alcohol and cleaned her up.. she wasn't in bad shape!!! They really made these laptops like they were disposable.. Very cheap.. Not Apple quality.. But I have to say for the time these came out they were SMALL and light!!! Ahead for their time.. Very competitive with the DOS crap machines...

Here's a pic.. I'll post a completed pic when I get the rest of the caps...
