HP Omnibook 600c
Currently DEAD and not powering on, Loud pop and Magic smoke a few seconds after I plugged in a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive, I believe it stressed an already weak power regulator and blew it out, it had been whistling a bit prior to it popping so I believe it was on its way out already, CD-ROM just pushed it over the edge.
Currently waiting for a rainy day to work on this one, hoping its just a dead and blown capacitor or some other off the shelf part in regulator.

Cool little thing, I have the same model here, trying to track down an original install disk with drivers, every time i tried doing a stock reinstall the mouse dose not get recognised …
I don’t have any software for it, but I do remember Win 95 had working mouse drivers, but I know 3.1 was a problem finding ones that worked. Unfortunately this unit is not working anymore, I still have not got around to fixing it yet.
Hi all,
need help to enter the bios please, which keys to use?
next problem is to replace the hard disk using compact flash
thanks for your time
happy holydays
I wish I could remember how to enter the BIOS on it, but it’s been a long time since my 600c has worked unfortunately.
