Does this dead “laptop“ have a gas plasma display? Let’s try to revive it to find out! Samsung S5200
I’ve had this Samsung S5200 laptop kicking around the basement for a year or two now and I’ve always been so curious to know more about this machine. This particular specimen is dead, so trying to turn it on reveals nothing. It also seems to be totally unknown to the world with no information about it existing outside of the odd eBay listing and a single post on VCForums.
Let’s see if I can revive the machine so it can reveal some of its secrets.
