Going by 2008 I'm guessing A9 series? I am all too familiar with these chunky beasts, years ago I bought a whole batch of S10s as internet + word processing machines for our clients, and they do have great keyboards with some decent travel still. They pretty much gave up on this type of machine after that What model Tecra is this? They made several models in this case design, A and S series. Toshiba still made another series of Tecras, the A11 and S11 models with Westmere era hardware based on an entirely different construction (OEM?), also quite nice machines and they seemed to ship with better power supplies. The Sanken OEM'd power supplies fairly commonly suffer from bad caps. Worth a shot, but don't be too surprised if you run into problems.) Pray that you never have to clean out the cooling system, I had a look at the service docs once and it seems you have to rip the entire machine apart for that.

Should be recognized at least - maybe turned off in BIOS? Hmm, looks like Win10 drivers want at least a 82579 Sandy Bridge era chip, while the A9 would have a 82566MC with "legacy" drivers up to Win7 only. (Those had ordinary Intel 82567LM-2s for LAN, not sure why yours would have an issue.

those may be a bit prone to PCH issues if memory serves (and you better not run an old BIOS since they seem to have had a bricking issue with SSDs having an ATA password set), but I mean what do you expect from a naked chip stuck on the underside of the What model Tecra is this? They made several models in this case design, A and S series.
The oldest model we still have in productive use right now are T520s. T510s are pretty neat machines, too, unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to adjust display PWM frequency on the older version with the fixed nVidia graphics which is quieter. the T500 is pretty much the last generation like that.

With a bit of luck a reflow of the graphics chip (it's an ATI/AMD job so hopefully no nVidia "bumpgate" type disaster) and inspecting the cooling solution for why it might not be making good contact plus some new thermal paste may be all that's required.Ī lot of older models from the CCFL backlight era aren't so hot any more these days, they just aren't that bright (literally). They're a bit notorious for that apparently. If you know of any other that we can mention, do not hesitate to share it in the comments.Click to expand.Oh, I've read about that, I think. Without further ado, these are just some of the Linux distributions that still continue in 2018 to support 32-bit processors and that do not require many resources to function.

An i686 processor, which is a Pentium Pro or better.Technically, ConnochaetOS follows the KISS principle. ConnochaetOSĬonnochaetOS e It's a GNU / Linux distribution intended for x86 computers With limited resources, based on Slackware and Salix OS, this distro does not use a desktop environment as such, if not uses the IceWM window manager designed for computers with limited resources, it is available only for x86 (32 bit). If you want to try this distribution for low resources, the link is this. Also has some desktop environments of which we can choose, among which are: Mate, Xfce, KDE, Cinammon, Openbox, Lxde and Lxqt.
