Compaq LTE Lite/25
This laptop works great, except that for some reason the F key on the keyboard triggers both F and caps lock for some reason. I have a spare keyboard to swap in, I'm just procrastinating because I absolutely hate taking these apart. It could also really use a wipe/reinstall on the hard drive, but the floppy drive is dead, so once again, I'd need to take it apart to get the drive out. Will do all that at some point.
It also did have an intermittent issue where it would only POST when cold booting, but that hasn't showed itself for a while.
