I had a think pad from the early 90s (running on win. 3.1), that I bought in the middle if the 2010s to also do that. It had a floppy disk drive and analog port

Anyway, i couldn't even have time to work on it, as materials from the 90s didn't age well.

Just by opening the screen to boot it up a few times, the plastic case broke.

After opening the service panels, the foams inside (because there needed foam on the hdd for some reason) went into mist

so the MB and the electronic part was the only that was recoverable, not the plastic shell

I wonder if OP is having the same issue, if he tries to actually use the laptop
