Poking Technology's video: Hjalfi opens and closes a Skyone Alpha 400 several times

In which yr hmbl svt attempts to make a simple repair to the world's cheapest and nastiest laptop, and descends into a spiral of madness and awful keyboard connectors. Back in 2009, the Skytone Alpha 400 laptop came out: an astonishingly cheap and astonishingly underpowered MIPS-based machine which was then rebranded and sold by a slew of other companies. They appeared on the market briefly, were panned by the press, and then vanished without trace. Mine is the only one I can find, an Elonex ONEt, which I got broken from eBay. In this video I attempt to get it back into working order. The fix was easy, but putting the bugger back together was much less so... Most of the information on the Alpha 400 appears to have been lost to time, but you might want to check out http://linuxlaptopforum.ark2webdesign.co.uk.
