Ultimately, I purchased a monitor with the model number IBM 5555 from the used market. After startup, it is able to display properly. But obviously there are some error. When the floppy disk is inserted, the error code 2000 is displayed in place of the 1115 error code, which is displayed without...

Yes, it is correct! The tantalum capacitors on my 5162 are shown below. I had to replace all of them.

Finally, I upgraded the motherboard bios with AMI version. Everything works fine.

The frequencies and waveforms are as follows: PIN 6: GND PIN 7 : PIN 4: PIN 5: I think it should show something. Any suggestion?

Despite my attempts at various combinations, but I failed again! Looks like I had to buy an old IBM monitor. （input signal out of rang）

Yes. It has a floppy drive. At the moment I have neither a keyboard nor software. The first thing I want to do is make it display something.

I just disassembled it again! I think only three signal lines are useful. If they correspond to RGB signals, then there is no h-sync & v-sync signal line. My opinion is that it could be a monochrome graphics card.

China is where I'm located. After studying the relevant [docs], I can sure that the 8pin din is a connector for monitor. I found a [converter] on ebay. I made a converter as it did. Sadly, though, that didn't work out. The machine had a blue screen while it was off and blue stripes when it...

I will follow the instruction. Thanks!

I got this IBM 5295G by $70. The only documentation I could find was on this Japanese site. It’a on line terminal. It seems to be missing a graphics card. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

I’m waiting for the programer. When I got it ,I will try your way. Thanks a lot!

I got one. It works fine. BTW,I just replaced the connector of the keyboard with a couple of DB9 connector :)

I haven't purchased a card of this kind yet. Because I'm not sure if an IDE hard drive can be used with this vintage IBM computer.

Yes, I had set HD to "none" by using the gsetup program. I think so. But it can't be fdisk & format in dos3.3 or 6.22 on 5162. I now believe that the BIOS is the source of the issue. but it seems that there is no newer version available.

My IBM 5162 has a damaged hard drive. Every time, I had to use a floppy to boot it. I recently bought a MINI XT-CF card. However, my IBM 5162 can't boot from it. Using DOS 3.3, I fdisk the CF card and erase all partitions on my Compaq Prolinea 4/50 (which includes a CF-IDE adapter). The CF...
