Toshiba Tecra 550CDT

• Intel Pentium 266 MMX
• 12“ 1024×768 TFT
• 32MB (onboard) to 160MB (maximum) EDO SO-DIMM
• PCI S3 Virge/MX VGA
• ISA Yamaha OPL3-SA3 audio
• 3.5” FDD or CD-ROM in Selectbay module (replaceable with second battery or second 2.5“ HDD)
• 2.5” IDE HDD
• 3400mAh Li-Ion battery
• Mine is fitted with a Selectbay FDD module.

The machine has a few issues:

• It smells
• The screen is a bit dim, and takes a while to 'warm up' - possible backlight replacement needed; also the LCD has a single pixel horizontal blue line on the left of the image
• The internal HDD cable was very fragile and snapped upon taking the disk out
• The CPU fan (I think?) makes a noise

The FFC cable which attaches the internal 2.5“ drive to the motherboard is extremely fragile.

• Part FAL2H0 / FAL2HD1
• Alternative part numbers: P000245460, B36080141012

Possible option to fit the optional “Selectbay Secondary HDD kit”, part PA2609U. Which fits in place of the internal floppy/cdrom and is bootable (according to the BIOS options).
