HP Omnibook 2100
I've bought this notebook as damaged as I needed spare
parts, and I found that the only problem it has is with power connector
desoldered from board. I've used it as my Win98 machine until I got
Tecra 8100.
Tecra ntebooks were chosen because they had good quality-price ratio and
were easily accessible. The only negative thing with these laptops is
their pointing device: Toshiba stood long with trackpoint-only
notebooks, while other manufacturers started to use touchpads. But it
should be noted that for experienced user using trackpoint is as
comfortable as touchpad.

Here you can find hardware servicing manual for it. Disassembly procedure is described there.
And HP still (2014) has support for it: Look here or in HP's suport website as they like to move stuff.
