@GamesMissed Ah! Great to know that you were able to make it! 🙂
Ready at the New England Classic Gaming meeting in the Norfolk, MA Public Library!

@freeschool The STacy was supposed to work with C size batteries, but it did not last too long, only a few minutes.
Here are my posts about repairing the STBook:

@freeschool It is the first "laptop" created by Atari (in quotes, because it weighs 7 Kg.). It is a full ST computer, with up to 4 MB of RAM. It has a great story. Then came the Atari STBook.
@freeschool Of course! You haven't heard about it?
@Sarnau Thanks!
@Sarnau Would you mind sharing the serial number of your ST Book? Do you have both the motherboard's and case serials? 🙂
@Sarnau Amazing! Now, if we could find that damn 120 pins connector... :-)
@Sarnau Yes, repairing it has been a challenge. Fortunately, all the electronics are working now, so I feel good about that. And, of course, the rarity of the ST Book makes it even harder because, depending on what's broken, you may not be able to find it (like the LCD screen).
Do you have a diagnostic board specifically for the ST Book? If so, where did you find it? 🙂
@Sarnau Thanks! It was fun to learn about the LCD, how it works and find the reason (and solution) of the missing pixels.
@Sarnau I think those are the ones I mention in my post, right?
I recently bought an #Atari ST Book, and I'm in a journey or repairing it. You can check it here: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7118
