[comp.sys.zenith] Dead disks and Dimming LCD's ...

acrosby@uafhp.uark.edu (Albert L Crosby) (02/18/91)

One of the 1/3 ht. 5 1/4" disk drives on my Zenith Z-171 died 
recently.  I am looking for a source either to replace it or repair 
it.
 
 Or is it possible to hook up a 3.5" drive of either density in its 
 place?  Seems I talked to someone once who did this.
  
  The display is also starting to dim.  Is it possible to fix/have it 
  fixed?  If not, where might I be able to order a replacement LCD?  
  (It would be nice to get a better LCD than the original...)
   
   This is the "toaster" or "lunchbox" machine that Zenith bought from 
   Morrow.  Osborne also sold a few of these.  If you have one of 
   these machines and would like to know about the results of my 
   quest, plese send e-mail to acrosby@uafhp.uark.edu or acrosby at 
   GEnie.
    
    Many thanks!
