I just recieved an old (Armored...Wow) Grid laptop that has a 386 inside.
It seems to work with the exception of the backlighting. The backlight
actually appears for a moment during the boot then goes out. The sliding
switch on the left hand side of the screen appears to be the brightness
but doesn't have any effect. In fact it feels real sloppy like it may not
be driving the actual variable resister.
Anybody think I'm close?
