Toshiba T1900c Pt. 1

So this week I take a look at one of the retro laptops I recently picked up from eBay, the Toshiba Satellite T1900c. It has some possible screen damage and doesn't power on, but that should be as "simple" as a cap replacement. Let's see what I can get working!

I'm starting with this one because I want to use it as practice for the T1960CT, which I'm hoping is in better shape, especially the screen.
