Hi all!

ok, this is an old machine from 1993. Hope that someone has a hint for
this problem: I have a COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/33C and it looks like new. I
had it stored in its original package in a room for more than 2 years.
it worked perfectly well before and it was not touched during those 2
years. Now, i switched it on..and everything looks fine but the
display stays DARK! The hard disk is fine and spinning *but nothing
shows upt on the display. What could have caused that?? How can i fix
it? As i said the machine was not touched for more than 2 years and it
worked perfectly before!

Thanks,

lactose

thanks, hh

in fact it is still very easy to get parts. a few bucks and u can buy
a second working unit on ebay and use the parts of it. can this be
fixed? i remember that when i opened the packagage it smells
humid...so i believe that humidity caused this. i will have to open
it..maybe it can be fixed..
