Compaq Portable II Power Supply schematic (or capacitor ID)

You might try removing the battery and motherboard, and cleaning it with denatured alcohol or MEK. Won't hurt the motherboard, but it does remove the corrosion. If the corrosion is severe, check the solder joints for damage. If all else fails, I have a selection of Compaq luggables.

Power supply is happy again (though it still smells like fried capacitor). Unfortunately (previously unknown to me) this system has a very large battery in it and you can guess what comes next: it's mounted to the underside of the motherboard and did a very significant amount of damage to it and some of the system chassis. I can't foresee it being worth the extreme effort it'd take to repair. So, two questions: 1) Anyone have a spare Portable II motherboard? 2) Alternately: Anyone need any Portable II parts? Everything else seems to be working (hard drive needs a bit of coaxing to get spinning). - Josh On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Josh Dersch <derschjo at gmail.com> wrote: ----- No virus found in this message.
