Hi,
I've a #PackardBell #EasyNote #2014. I want to install GNU/Linux but this thing ask me for a PW to go in #BIOS. Impossible to chose another device to boot with F12. Any help?

New #retrocomputing writeup on emulating a virtual #PackardBell Legend Supreme PC from the mid-1990s on the web zone! https://indigoparadox.zone/tutorials/pblegend.html

This was... quite a bit, and some of it may be too obvious or not obvious enough, so feedback is welcome. I mostly wanna preserve the vibes...

Hello friends! Does anyone know of a modern ATX PSU in this form factor? This little guy is 100mm W x 80mm H x 90mm D. It's from a Packard Bell Aloha small form factor desktop, and it has 20-pin ATX motherboard connector and two molex. It's rated for 106 watts. This one works, but is very stinky! Trying to find a replacement so I can enjoy the PC some more.
The Aloha is the same chassis as early 2000/late 90s NEC PowerMate desktops. #PC #computer #packardbell

Ok I feel kind of embarrassed asking this but would anyone know where I am supposed to plug these to?

I accidentally knocked it when trying to fix the hard drive in my Packard Bell Club 533C and now it won’t boot. It’s model number is G5GV05 - M4X4 - GI1 but I can’t seem to find a manual.

Edit: So I managed to get it to work again as I found an old not so great quality picture I took a while ago.

The hard drive light still shows up as orange on the front of the case when it boots and doesn't output a display so I guess the hard drive is dead or something? Or at least it is failing to POST

Can we play WoW on Windows Me?

Remettre la main sur le Packard-Bell Navigator (SCOL/Cryo Networks), la version que j'avais sauvegardé en 2000-2001.

Constater qu'il tourne sans souci ni modif sous GNU/Linux :)

Sur Win9x, il y avait les icônes des applications dans les différentes pièces. Les jeux dans la chambre des enfants, les trucs audio-vidéo dans le salon, les utilitaires dans l'atelier…

Oh yeah, a link to that aforementioned project: https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon

I've got the lever issue bandaided for now, but it looks like the onboard video is toast. I can hear it cycling up and POSTing, but no error beeps, no display.

I seem to remember the video being iffy the last time this board was powered up. I'll clean up the board, re-seat connectors and modules, see if that changes it, but otherwise maybe looking for a new video card.

check out this custom DOSBOX boot sequence I made for the Packard Bell Mini! #retrocomputing #packardbell #emulation https://youtu.be/gAXfRGOGijo

Trying to print this today, for the Packard Bell Mini, project has taken a.. turn in a different direction ;) #packardbell #doscember2022 #doscember

Fan has been acquired! It's almost time to build this thing. #packardbell #packardbellmini #raspberrypi #DOScember2022

ugh, I am really going to have to rethink the panel mounted HDMI connector in this thing. #packardbellmini #packardbell #doscember2022

Not entirely sure how these are going to print (the floppy drive in particular) but it's sized to hold an SD card slot that uses a ribbon cable to the microSD on the raspberryPi #3dprinting #raspberrypi #packardbell #doscember

oh…my…god… ITS PERFECT

Packard Bell Mini

I’m going to build this and hopefully make a watchable video about it.

I love Fusion360. Full 1080p render of a model I just whipped up. Packard Bell Legend MultiMedia for a full size Raspberry Pi. #DOScember #PackardBell #RetroComputing #RaspberryPi
