    IBM PS/2 L40SX Laptop issues, tantalum capacitor exploded.

    Thanks super-sama, you are most probably right and i will do my best effort in cleaning everything up as good as i can. I will do this first and try to catch (using a magnifyer) any broken traces, but if that will not work then i will try to replace those tantalums as well (hopefully it will not...

    IBM PS/2 L40SX Laptop issues, tantalum capacitor exploded.

    So i did all the radial capacitors (in green), and inserted a working/new cmos-battery to the unit but the problems remains exactly the same (will not shut off, can't detect the HDD) but it does no longer smell of fish (probably due to the new capacitor that leaked previously). I guess its now...

    One leaker .. Wish me luck :) First the system board, then the screen-assembly.

    IBM PS/2 L40SX Laptop issues, tantalum capacitor exploded.

    I will do that. Hopefully its nothing to severe, but if it comes to it, i assume its nothing a piece of cardboard (or similar) can't deal with :) I'll photo-document it all and link it here for any future reference sake (need to photo the stuff anyway to ensure that it comes back together as it...

    IBM PS/2 L40SX Laptop issues, tantalum capacitor exploded.

    Hi, and sorry for digging up this older thread. I also have an L40sx with some issues (i actually have two of them, but the first one works just fine for the moment). The second one (the trouble-maker) does differ on the system-board compared to the working one as it more mimics the OTs L40sx...

    IBM PS/2 L40SX Won't Turn Off

    Hi all, today i found out that my own L40sx behaved the same way (impossible to turn off when the psu is connected and displaying the "310" error on the screen with the pwr-switch in the off position). Of course it didn't use to be like this 4 months back when i last used it :) Another...

    SE/30 freezes a few seconds after boot

    Thx GiGaBiTe, i'll muster the courage to try it out. I found this video showing the procedure (minus the resistor in this case), but as i just recently ordered a recap-kit, i assume it will be more than 7 days before it is delivered (but i'll still do this procedure for good measure) best...

    SE/30 freezes a few seconds after boot

    I noticed another thing also. The floppy does not read disks any longer. I started to suspect the PSU and stumbled across this document: http://se30forever.com/powersupply.html?fbclid=IwAR1_kbiauPwhS9UrVMIgaj3BxpHtl0LPQEgKEOmuLx9-GMIMV7qzA1DOulY where #3 and #4 are (unfortunately) part of my...

    SE/30 freezes a few seconds after boot

    Hi NeXT, It locks with and without the scsi2sd in place (totally disconnected scsi and power/molex). Only thing i see is a very clear screen and the mouse-cursor that stops moving after a few seconds and stays frozen. I will try to disassemble it and remove the memory from it to see if that...

    SE/30 freezes a few seconds after boot

    Hi, i have an se/30 that have been working beautifully for quite many years. Its equipped with a scsi2sd and i also have the Rominator II from BMOW. 2 years ago, i had the "simasi" pattern on the screen and so i ordered the recap-kit and replace all of them. After this, it worked 100% again...
