I don’t think mine are cracked since the hinges hold the screen up properly for the most part, but it’s as if something has come loose. What part usually cracks?

The hinges on my Kanga are a bit floppy (for lack of a better term). The screen will stay up but it will fall open if it goes too far past vertical. Is there a way to tighten the hinges?

Good advice. I generally keep mine open as well when possible. The screen on my 190 is in great shape, the plastics are just separating at the hinges.

I found some new old stock replacement screen plastics for sale but they’re from a 190cs. As the top cover seems to have failed on mine, would I be able to install one from a 190cs on mine? I know the front screen plastics won’t work due to screen size differences. Or am I just better off buying...

I have a 190 with bad screen hinge plastics and the opportunity to get a 190cs with a bad main board but good screen. Can I just replace the 190 screen assembly with the 190cs one and be plug and play?

What’s the best way to do that? Should I remove the screen assembly entirely?

Music and sound effects sounded great! Kanga’s speakers are pretty good even by modern standards. I was really just surprised that it ran at all. Thanks for the tip about Unreal - I’ll have to give that one a try next.

Where would be the best location to put some glue?

I managed to get a Demo copy of the Mac version of the greatest game of all time, Deus Ex.  I wanted to see if my Kanga would run it. Virtual memory is required due to the application thinking it needs more than the Kanga can support (this is odd since the PC version runs okay with just 64MB...

I've got a PB190, and unfortunately the right side hinge cover on the screen side has decided to separate. The lid will still open and close, but it puts more stress on the plastics and with how brittle these are known to be I'd like to fix it before it gets worse. Pictures are attached...what's...

I have a working 190 that I salvaged from my high school several years when they were disposing of old hardware. When I got it the battery had already leaked slightly and it hasn't gotten any worse over time since I pulled the battery out and store it separately, but now I'm on a restoration...

The machine still is not responding after being plugged in all day and overnight. I opened it up again and there does appear to be some corrosion from an exploded PRAM battery which has long since been removed. I’m going to take a closer look at that today after work and try to post some...

I’ve got it plugged in now and am leaving it to sit that way all day while I’m at work. Hopefully it will fire up when I get home. I opened it up again this morning and checked the RAM card seating and all of the internal connections I could find. Nothing visually wrong. I did notice that the...

In addition to my working Kanga, I’ve got a second complete machine that won’t boot. When I push the power key nothing happens, and when I push the reset button on the back there’s a click from the speakers and nothing else. Pushing the reset button a second time causes the sleep light to...

I have a Kanga that is in good working order, but I think the two speakers above the keyboard are not functioning. Is there any way to run diagnostics on the individual speakers or to disable the screen mounted speakers to test the keyboard mounted ones?

While I'm in the guts of these machines, is their any way to tighten the screen hinges? The working Kanga I have has a screen that will stay up but it can get wobbly and I'd like to fix it if possible.

That name looks really familiar for some reason. I feel like I know someone by that name but I can't remember from where.
