I basically need to hire someone to take a look at it and figure out if it still works. I tried to turn it on to no avail but my husband thinks maybe it just needs a different hard drive or something. Are you in MD and if so, do you provide this kind of service? We have a very extensive collection of accessories, original keyboard, original boxes, printer, and tons of floppy disk games and programs. Thank you! Brooke

Out of my geographical area, but if someone digs into it and decides it needs an XT-IDE (poster mentioned maybe needing a new hard drive), I've got plenty of boards, kits, and assembled units kicking around. Thanks, Jonathan
she's going to stop by my place for the repair, I will let you know. I don't have a lot of spare hard drives to offer, in fact I have very few that function and will work in a 5150. The price may be too steep for her budget. On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 4:04 PM, Systems Glitch via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I thought she said it wouldn't power up. Doesn't sound like a hard drive problem to me. -Dave On 07/12/2016 04:59 PM, william degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
