Sparcbook 3000XT

[erik at baigar.de]

..with this generation of Sparc book I saw, that the internal 
   power supplies die very often over the years: These orange 
   tantalum capacitors go short leading to destruction of other
   components if connected to power after some years (DCDC con-
   verter's inductivity and power transistor) :-(
