LGR's Latest Video "Restroing an IBM Thinkpad 380XD"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWGOLO5HTDs
One of the YouTube channels related to his community that I enjoy is LGR. I would assume a large portion of the vintage community is aware of this channel.
Earlier today, he uploaded the above video. I was pleased to see it, and when I returned from running errands, I sat down and had a nice watch.
I also happen to own the very same model of Thinkpad.
When I bought mine, I found it on Kijiji (for those of you who don't know what it is, it is similar to craigslist but in Canada only it seems).
I found a guy from a town not more than 20 minutes from me selling one of these, and after some arrangements he came to my home and demonstrated it, it worked, so I bought it.
He was an older gentlemen, white hair, etc (I'm 22). He was a little worried about the data considering he had pictures of his kids and stuff on it. I assured him the data would be gone, because it was running Windows 98, so I was going to format it, and install a fresh copy of Windows 95, which I did.
While watching LGR's video, I saw that he managed to get his hands on the OEM information, so I left him this comment:
I am hoping he either responds, or someone else knows where to get it from.

It was entertaining to watch for sure!
I have this same laptop!
Do you know where to get the OEM information from?
Could you please upload it somewhere or something?
