Common Faults & Maintenance
Battery
The T1000SE's main battery must be working and charged for the laptop to boot.
Bad Capacitors
Capacitors in the power section of the T1000SE's motherboard go bad and leak. They MUST be replaced, regardless of working condition. Many T1000SEs are getting too far gone to fix due to the corrosion that results from the capacitor leakage (they're ELNA LongLife caps, the worst of the worst). The capacitors on the Floppy drive, LCD and backlight inverter boards also leak.
Floppy Drive
Aside from the aforementioned bad capacitors, the Citizen U1D Series floppy drive used in the T1000SE is belt-driven and the belt always falls apart due to age. The U1D isn't super picky about belts, so you can replace it with an off-the-shelf belt that fits close enough, or you can 3D print a belt with TPU. You can get the .stl file for the U1D belt here.
