What hard drive will work with my NEC PowerMate 5250?

They don't make them like that any more!

The Service Manual lists it as a standard IDE drive. Your best bet is to take it to a local computer shop. They can remove the drive and add it to a test bench set up, then transfer all the data to a pen drive as the hard drive is only 2.1 Gb.

Or use the power supply from another old computer, as the connector plugs should be the same, 12 volt and 5 volt.

Or get another on eBay

NEC Versa 4050c 90mhz Pentium laptop off eBay for $25 shipped. It has a 2.1gb drive, 40mb of ram. It came with a docking station.

Hi
Have you tried your hard drive on another machine?Or maybe tried another hard drive on your machine?
Could well be a faulty hard drive.
Also try disconnecting the hard drive and connecting it again.

XP does not have most audio drivers. Go to NEC and download the drivers.
If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

If you're not good at sodering I'd suggest replacing the whole motherboard. Otherwise go Here <<< for a guide on the bios, and how to replace it.

Hello

instructions on how to remove and replace the hard drive are on this PDF document.

Can you remove the hard drive from the computer, write down the details that read on top of it, and also if you could look at the connectors and tell me the details so I can make sure I direct you at a proper replacement.

Thank you,
Ekse

If you are in USA, I recommend "New Egg" they are great and I am sure ya will get those items there. www.newegg.com Or go straight to NEC, and see where they have distributer in your area. www.nec.com
