your host end commander and i can only conclude that i am paying off karma at a vastly accelerated rate for those who haven't seen it this is part two of this compact portable restoration series if you're interested in just seeing me suffer for rebuilding one of the world's worst keyboards i provided chapter marks for your convenience anyway to recap in part one we did a full system tear down some component replacement and by using a modern atx power supply we ultimately managed to limp our way into displaying a bunch of error codes this meant that all the major system components were at least partially working but i still had quite a bit more to do before we could even attempt to boot early pcs were famously terse with their error conditions and the compact portable is no exception to that rule however given its current state i actually expected all these errors starting from the top the NUMBER_TOKEN error is representing a keyboard failure which is simply due to the fact that said keyboard isn't plugged in likewise errors NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN representing a printer failure and floppy drive failure respectively are being caused by the fact that the combination floppy printer card is sitting on my desk at the moment the optimistic folks among us might assume that the only thing needed at this point would be to reinstall these missing components however there were a few things i needed to do before trying that primarily i want to remove the NUMBER_TOKEN or so years of grime that had built up on the case after removing all the electrical bits i relocated to my kitchen and the great cleaning began it didn't take too long before there was a noticeable difference between the areas i cleaned and those that i hadn't while soap and water did make a noticeable difference i ended up using baking soda to relatively good effect in removing some of the more stubborn black marks it was during this deep clean that something a bit odd happened as i was moving the case pieces around i heard something start rattling inside the metal work i wasn't recording at the time but after a brief examination i found what appeared to be a metal ring as far as i can tell this isn't part of the portable and it had just been wedged in the plastics my only explanation is that someone liked this portable so much they put a ring on it okay i'll admit that was pretty bad even by my standards at least it wasn't a token ring
