Mina has screws on all four corners to secure it to corresponding tabs in the
metal frame for the power control circuitry.

Yes it does. It's the little white 3-pin connector on the board.

Hello All,
I am looking for an old piece of Compaq SW. It is used to communicate with a
Server Manager/R (or sometimes also known as System Manager) board. This was
Compaq's first attempt at a lights-out management (LOM) board. If anyone has
a copy and can share I would appreciate it! Thank you.
Hello All,
I am looking for an EOL/no longer manufactured pot. It is a Clarostat
CM46895-3 and used to adjust the back light/brightness on a Compaq Portable
486c (pictures are here:

Hi Grant,
I am not sure. From what little information I could fin
For a workaround:
1. Solder any same size pot with suitable long wires to the location (if
possible)
2. Adjust the brightness to Your liking
3. Remove the pot
4. Measure the resistance
5. Solder a measured value resistor where the pot was.
This way You get a fixed brightness and somewhat working

Wayne,
I could be totally wrong here (EE definitely was not my major) but
1. Turning the pot does not change the brightness of the screen at all
2. Measuring the pot and adjusting it (i.e. turning the knob) gives me a

Out of curiosity, why do you think the pot is bad?

Just for clarification, a pot has 3 tabs. Ohmeter measuring across the 2 “end”
tabs should indicate the total resistance of the pot (10k, 50k, 500k ohms,
whatever the schematic says). If the measurement is infinite then the
potentiometer is open broken. If you get that reading, you might want to
