Just arrived back from the USA (ironically visiting HP in Houston on another mission) to London and brought home an HP 9825s (the one with the 'proper' keyboard). Works wonderfully but needs some attention. Does anyone have a link to the service manual, it's not on the DVD and I can't find it via google.
I'm intending to fully restore this (will involve bead blasting and re-spray paint job of the case etc) so any guidance would be appreciated.
Does anyone have details of the I/O boards (was a video board ever done?)
By the way - I know that some people think a re-spray is heresy, but the case is cosmetically quite tatty.
