This is my A4 Laptop, its a bit worn around the edges and totally
filthy. Supposed to be grey in colour but is more nicotine brown.

A reference shot of the right hand side. The 3.5" disc drive is
visible and also sockets for external mouse, keyboard, audio and serial
port. There should be a small flip-down lid covering these sockets, but
unfortunatly its missing.

A view with the back panel down. In here you will find the parallel
port, reset button, power connector and standard VGA output connector.

I have removed the blanking plate where the Econet or Nexus upgrade
can be fitted. I have just cleaned the insides with a vacum hose and small
brush. The A4 is a bit delicate to take apart, so I will not be stripping
it unless it needs repair.

Wiping the dirt and dust off with a damp cloth, vigorus rubbing
with the cloth manages to lift the nicotine.

A view of the right hand side where I have cleaned from the rear
to halfway across the floppy drive. The difference is clearly seen.
|
|
I cleaned the rest of the case and the keyboard with the same damp
cloth technique. I also used small cotton buds to get into the smaller
areas.

The finnished laptop, the photo doesn't do it justice. From a filthy
brown colour to its original grey powder coated finnish.
