Hello everyone, In this episode we look at a TRS-80 Model 200 laptop. The Model 200 was a descendant of the famous Model 100 but featured a flip up screen for the first time. This computer was sent to me by the owner as it was not booting up properly. It was in excellent physical shape and even included the original box!
Upon inspection a small amount of corrosion from liquid intrusion was cleaned up, the faulty memory battery was replaced, and all the electrolytic capacitors were replaced. I picked up a few extra NiMh memory batteries direct from the manufacturer and have them up on my website if you are in need of a battery for your Model 100 or 200. These are a direct replacement for the original NiCad batteries.
