Toshiba Tecra A9 with faulty internal monitor and no HDD (Ravelston EH4)

Toshiba Tecra A9 (faulty - internal monitor does not display, external monitor works fine, NO HDD) for spares or repair.

This laptop is in good cosmetic condition for its age with only a few very small scratches on the case, and the screen looks just as good, or better, but the monitor does not display at all and the hard drive has been removed.

It has upgraded memory to the maximum the motherboard allows (4GB), and is otherwise complete. All the peripherals work. The keyboard and touchpad are fine. The battery still charges a bit, but is on it's last legs - hence the near-permanant recent operaton in a docking station

It originally ran on Windows 7 Pro, and was upgraded to Windows XP Pro, then Windows 10 Pro, and it ran all of these well enough, but was a bit slow with Win10 until the hard-drive was upgraded to an SDD. You'll need a 2.5” SATA drive to make it all work or test it thoroughly. Anything from 80GB to 1TB should do.

The original Toshiba power supply is included and works fine. Any support/re-install CDs are not included - now lost or not in the original retail box. The original retail box is available if you want it - please ask. Or it can be collected in an airsac + cardboard box

The monitor wasn't used for some time as it was always in a docking station during lockdown, connected to an external monitor which all worked perfectly well. It's just about possible that the built-in monitor stopped working because the Win10 upgrade lost the necesarcy drivers for the monitor or the keyboard (where the Fn-F5 key toggles between external and internal montitors). or it could be a loose connection inside the case, but it could be that the internal monitor is simply dead - no sign of life at all. The laptop has a VGA port, so you can connnect and external monitor without using a docking station, and you can download drivers and manuals from the dynabook (Toshiba) website: https://support.dynabook.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200013251
