I found my childhood computer! A 1999 NEC Z1!

[NECZ1]

Hello, I found my childhood computer and would like help fixing it. My name is Jason.

The screen doesn’t turn on (although on eBay it showed a picture of it on but not running windows).

That's awesome! Looks like something I would see on Babylon 5

Wow this computer looks like my uncle when he was young. So nostalgic. But I think it would be hard to fix it and use it like it used to. If I had it I would keep it in a display cabinet.

Hello and welcome to VCF Forum. Can you tell us a little more about the computer? 1999 would be a Pentium-III? Have you opened the case? What cards are installed or is everything built in to the main board? Is the screen completely dead or is there a sound? any blinking cursors? Have you tried booting from the floppy drive?
