...among a haul that also included 4 Palms and an Apple iie system (which I've also been after for a while). All units desperately need cleaned, which I can do at my work (we clean and repair electronic point of sale hardware).
It's an MP2000 with the MP2100 upgrade sticker, a pcmcia modem, and...
Hah funny story... While using it and installing TenFourFox, Classic mode, and Quake III the CRT suddenly shut down and wouldn't come back.
I had almost given up hope for it, as it was just $15, when I thought "old computers could pretty easily be fixed by a big whack on the side". And what do...
yeah... i actually noticed that too.. let me check the backend real quick; I did a domain change recently and I think it broke.
Edit:
phew... databases aren't working. Time to fix that, a lot of my sites just broke lol.
Yeah I sorta gave up when it got super behind and never got finished... I completed my project, the midway report mentioned that my blog was down even though it was not. Messaged multiple times and nothing happened.
at least i finished the site...

Congrats! Glad you took another closer look at it.
The line in the middle is indeed normal. It is the split point between the top and bottom half. Like I said above, the passive matrix displays are split in 2 to help with rendering.
In total: missing components, cap goo, no ram. And of course, broken crt. It was obviously from that case.
Salvaged parts off the corroded one and gave it a good wash. Haven’t tested inputs yet. The floppy drive didn’t work so I’ll have to tear into it and clean it.
That was after washing the board. It worked for a couple minutes and then failed again and is doing what it did before.
When it was working though, it chimed and everything. Even the sad Mac without rom or ram.
