So both my 5126 and my 5120 showed up and in knowing fashion the 5126 booted and the 5120 did not (most likely caps of coarse).
Now I will probably do some recapping but the 5126 ran but sucked up power fast in comparison. In its defense the ram is a PDS card giving a total of 8 megs. Could be an 8 meg card but it doesnt have anythig that says that. It has 1 line of dead pixels on the right side
The 5120 is a little different than my first 5120. It rad 1 meg ram in the ram slot and a PDS card with 2 megs of ram. It looks like the card allows an add on to that and has a jumper on it. So my rebuilt unit has 4 megs of ram now. In the bottom of the case is a signature. Neither of my other 2 have a signature in sharpie , actually its intials and is probably an assembly guy thing but just in case here it is.
Now the next thing is the new 5120 does not have screw holes in the top screen. Other than that looks pretty normal.
So doesnt look like there is enough access to screen for a single pixel repair like on a gameboy so Ill leave that alone and recap and let someone else have a stab at the 5120. No books or extras with them but they were very cost effective compared to other portables I have seen. Bags had all thier feet so that was nice.
It looks like the 5120 I redo will be missing the 3 little rubber tabs, have 2 megs of ram, and stock 6.0.8 with not much on it. Of course until its recapped I am getting way ahead of myself.
Thank you all.
