HP Omnibook 2100

I've bought this notebook as damaged as I needed spare parts, and I found that the only problem it has is with power connector desoldered from board. I've used it as my Win98 machine until I got Tecra 8100.
Tecra ntebooks were chosen because they had good quality-price ratio and were easily accessible. The only negative thing with these laptops is their pointing device: Toshiba stood long with trackpoint-only notebooks, while other manufacturers started to use touchpads. But it should be noted that for experienced user using trackpoint is as comfortable as touchpad.

Here you can find hardware servicing manual for it. Disassembly procedure is described there.

And HP still (2014) has support for it: Look here or in HP's suport website as they like to move stuff.
