Wait so you cannot use a screen from a 14.1" A3x on a T30 and vice versa?

That is my understanding.

Awaiting arrival of an SXGA cable & inverter to continue the project.

I'm reasonably certain that all T30 panels were proprietary for that model and not interchangeable with what was found in T2x. You may want to compare the pinouts before actually installing the screen.

Good luck.

Well, I'm not driving up to NY / NJ anytime soon. The state storm troopers will probably arrest me at the border anyway, my being from FL and all.

You're better off where you are. Trust me.

Are you able to see the card under Device Manager ?

Remove the mini PCI card and see whether that makes a difference.

Good luck.

How can you tell which keyboard the original is? I need to replace one for a T42. It doesn't matter at this point, since pretty much all new 15" keyboards for T4x that I've seen over the past 5 years or so were ALPS. There's a section in the HMM which specifically deals with keyboard FRUs, includin...

So you need a keyboard with 3 posts as opposed to ones with 4 posts used on 14" models. You may want to put that bit of info in your thread title.

Happy hunting.

The keyboards are different between the 14" and 15" models on T4x/R5x.

Given the keyboard FRU, it seems like your T42 is a 15" but could you please verify the 7-character model number on the bottom of the machine? It should look something along the lines of 2373-A1B...

Nice I get a huge list of Thinkpads with the 2373 number, most T40 and T41 have Radeon 9000 Yikes this is a really long list The T42 mostly has the Radeon 7500 not too many have Radeon 9000 Only the earliest hi-end T42s were shipped with 9000, most of them - as well as T40 and T41 - had 7500. I don...

Wow, that is pretty bad, but could you solder a Radeon 9000/9600 on a T42 that has a Radeon 7500? You'd need a re-balling station to begin with. Most of us don't have access to one. Still waiting on the verdict of FireGL T2. And how well that works on Windows 98 with DOS games and software No clue ...

How does the MTM pull up the original specs using the Product ID? And how accurate is that, or has it been wrong ever before? It's very accurate, having been complied from the old IBM/Lenovo database. Nothing in this world comes with a 100% accuracy guarantee, but MTM link is as good as it gets. Wh...

You can look in the BIOS and the serial will begin with 237314Ublablahblah No need for an OS or even a hard drive, the answer will be right there, just run it against the link. MTM has been around forever, almost every sub-model has one assigned. The link provides you with the specs that the machine...

Welcome to the forum! A lot of T42 units sported the 9600, while some early ones had 9000. There are way too many models and applicable configurations for them to be listed here. Ask the seller for the 7-character code on the bottom of the laptop - it should look something like 2373-14U - and then r...

Sounds a hell of a lot better on the A31p than a T520!

No surprise there.

I've never traveled "light" Year long deployments to the sand box means you take it if you think you will need it. A Fleetwood for long drives means you can fit it in the trunk. You can fit anything and everything in that trunk...no wonder mobsters loved them... Forum remark: (incl. any body )

OEM flagship with 2000M: 4276-23U. Would have to check if any ever shipped OEM with 2960XM.

Nowhere have I mentioned Trump. Nor would I. Let's leave it at that.

Have fun debating this matter further amongst yourselves.

The funny thing to me is that in reality, even politicians like Orban or Trump are still "globalists". Neither is willing to leave the world market and both have to cope with the reality of that world market, And this is where I stop debating you. I am an old man and have no time for this type of n...

It's somewhat popular, many artists have used it from David Bowie, Kraftwerk, to Marilyn Manson and the list goes on. I didn't know it existed either until I accidentally discovered it a couple weeks ago, but ever since then I have had great fun learning about it, and am now having fun playing it. ...

I've got to give it to you: over my 35+ years of being involved in musical instruments industry, I've never even heard of that little guy.

Thanks for sharing and have fun with it.

In the end, you have to ask yourself: What will happen if the hated EU collapses? You may think that European nations will just go on and cooperate more loosely, having regained control over things like borders and currencies, restoring their complete Independence and recovering economically. That ...

Some better info about George Soros (real name: György Schwartz) Rest assured that many in Eastern Europe - not just Hungary - hated Soros long before he started being trashed by American media. His "Open Society" projects poisoned just about all of that area after the fall of The Wall. It's promis...

:) My last question is a curiosity one: I have the 800X600 Celeron 500mhz 4MB video version of the A20m. Can I use a A20P motherboard? (the reason would be to use the better rage 128 video 16MB vs my 4MB) my gut says no because it looks like that laptop only uses the 1400X1050 screen Nope. They had...

Soooooo.. Soros is Jewish??? I didn't know that. Doesn't change my (low) opinion of him and his intentions and actions.

Mike, you make almost as a lousy anti-Semite as myself...

Why attribute those "qualities" to Soros-hating individuals ? I am not attributing those to Soros-hating individuals in general, just to the portion of them that are truly antisemitic, whether they know their antisemitism stems from religious influence or not. I bet some know precisely where antise...

No, that is not at all what I said. Read it over again. I said I am sure there is a PORTION that are truly antisemitic, and that I am not going to speak for everyone. I didn't specify whether it's a large portion, a medium portion, or a small portion because I don't know that. My point which you've...

You do realize that you just called everyone who voted for Orban dumb? Except that I didn't, since Orban couldn't have kept people dumb before he took office, as he used said office to rig the system in his favor only after he won the 2010 election. Also "keep people dumb" (sich die Leute dumm halt...
