the sticker screw cover removal (for the LCD bezel) hurt my soul..... a trick that ive been using for years now is to get a thin razor and a hair dryer. blast the stickers with some heat and very gently use the razor to slide under the stickers in order to remove them without mangling them up and making them look trashed. You can put the stickers on parchment paper while youre working inside the screen assembly, then heat the the sticker area again and re-apply the sticker
Please be careful if using a hair dryer on the laptop! I melted the keys on my Libretto 50CT this way... They are not easy to make replacements for. But removing the keyboard and placing it aside solves that problem :)
Pretty cool to have hardware like that in such a tiny form. I think the damages can't be helped with the state of the plastic. I am working on restoring two Highscreen 386 pc's, but it is currently on hold until I have a Gotek. Since I am running out of working diskettes that I can put disk images on.
Oh supposedly originally there was a special formatting Utility as it has a suspend to disk function which can erase data as it arbitrarily picks a medium space on the disk. Originally the extra formatting Utility would leave a gap at that spot.
Good I remember going to the store and looking at the windows CE devices and thinking this would be cool. Got myself one off eBay last year. Thankfully somebody also gave me a libretto 70CT I can confirm I am running off a CF card I don't remember the size offhand I think it's 256MB, and have the/A original hard drive. Them things are neat and I was shocked to know that mini computing exists outside the US!
HAHAHHAHHAHA It's not a "Two girls one cup" situation! It's an older site about a dog. The girls posted things about the dog, but the dog died in 2009 and they kept it as a memorial =(
I had seen it recommended when I was was almost finished with my video (been working on it since August on and off). Aside from the case distruction, we basically made the same video! Haha
Very sad you shoved a too big hdd in there. I have a few of these, mostly in good condition, and this is one of those no-no's. EDIT: 05:52 that is completely your fault, you are too rough, and should've looked out for that specifically because you took out the screws. Really, be a little more careful, these things are very well loved, by a lot of people. EDIT MORE: I'm actually stopping to watch. You absolutely do NOT have to manhandle it like 06:22 etc, seriously you don't. Take your time, feel for resistance, use a service manual to know where the clips are, and take more time. Damn man, what a waste.
Oh, I take full responsibility for my mistakes there haha I didn't realise at 5:52 when I was lifting the screen that that was loose like that, it was too late when I heard that crack.

I'll keep that in mind next time I have a similar project!

spent plenty of idle hours on eBay checking out Librettos....I may just have to buy one now thanks to your video!!!!
this toshiba saw things human should never witness
It's shellshocked!

This video was pretty good, except the carmaged Libretto, but i don't blame you, i would have done the same if i also had the machine
Love the Metal sequence!
I hope he doesn't get copyright striked for that strangely accurate Screamo song.
Nice work. Good to see that one worked when you were done.
Thanks!

of course your cat tries to sit on the little 💻 😂
6:04 - weird that nobody mentioned the absolutely hilarious death metal part in the comments
Olá Eric, obrigado por me recordares do Elifoot, há mais de 20 anos que não pensava no jogo. Excelente vídeo, como sempre. Abraço
Leaving the ebay searches on after you buy one, you end up buying several
This is like watching an elephant try and open a glass jar... get some proper tools and inspedct before you dissasemble
Best use of death metal since Opeth's Ghost Reveries album.
All that work and you didn’t change or remove the leaky battery? 🤷🏽♂
You can't leave that libretto dismantled in a box! You have no choice but to make a video designing and 3d printing a case. 😉
I hope to eventually do something with it, I'd love to design a new shell for it eventually.
08:00 "Two Girls and a Dog" 😏
HAHAHHAHHAHA

@@TheEricExperiment Well that's ruined it for me!
@@ebridgewateroh no hahaha
Muito maneiro jogando Elifoot hahaha
Boa Eric!

Funnily enough, This Does Not Compute repaired his CT50 a few days ago: czcams.com/video/oLNdFQ5gD_0/video.html

Why do people have this need to add BG music to COMMENTARY videos?
What's wrong with a little music?
@@TheEricExperiment
It is annoying, distracting and competes with the commentary.
