The title pretty much says it all but just a couple of additional thoughts... 1) The system should be in good working order, cosmetics are less important. 2) The screen should be free of any major flaws 3) No HDD/SSD or AC adapter required, but I won't say "no" to a system including these either.

There are no OEM batteries available that have been made in the last 5 years. True. However, there are still NOS batteries out there, and Panasonics have been known to last easily for a decade, staying in "green" even after 7-800 cycles. You won't get that with an aftermarket battery, period. So I'...

It's still better to find a used OEM (Panasonic is the best) than any Aftermarket IMO,

This, times a zillion.

I have T43p too, but the GPU idles at like 90C so that probably should never be powered on again until I fix whatever is causing it to run so hot. Re-paste and undervolt the CPU, undervolt the GPU if needed. That should take care of the excessive heat. Having said that, a T43p is not a viable daily...

Wasn't there a CDC card with an ethernet controller? The T23 should have a CDC slot to utilize that ethernet daughter card, which could free up the MiniPCI slot for machines that came with the MiniPCI combo card. I stand corrected. The previous T2x models did not have the CDC, at least my work-issu...

ThinkPad T23 has a miniPCI slot that is only used for a modem.

On most models it's a combo card, modem and wired LAN. So I would vote against removing it, unless one never uses LAN.

Apply Middleton's BIOS and up the CPU to T9300, and it'll go up even more.
And that CPU runs cooler than your T7500.

+ 1.

Not to mention that such an upgrade would give you an excuse - not that you should need one - to re-paste the system.

The most important question, IMO: Titanium lid, or the standard black one ?

If it's a Ti lid AND in great shape, $100. I almost couldn't give away an absolutely pristine Z61m with a Ti lid about a year and half ago.

Good luck.

About the upgrade, I want to prepare this laptop to run old (win 98se/xp) and current os (win 10/linux)

W10 will not run on T42.

The last MS OS that will install on it is W7.

Happy upgrading.

I understand. However, that fact alone makes them a complete non-starter for silly old me. I understand that "silly old me" is just an expression, but in this case I do think you are being silly, refusing to adapt to new technologies. Eventually your T61p will be too old to do anything useful, you ...

Maybe you'll just bump into one somewhere and let me know... :D While the official name for the layout in IBM/Lenovo HMMs is "Slovenian" I'm certain tha...

I know this is a long shot but it costs me nothing to ask here...

Looking for an X6x keyboard with a Slovenian layout, in working condition.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't have any RAM to sell, but are you aware that these will take 2GB in a 2x1GB configuration of PC2100/2700 ?

Just as FYI.

Happy hunting

You'll need to apply the "no-1802" hack first in order to remove the whitelisting from BIOS but the card that you're looking at should work after that, as long as it's in the proper mini PCI format.. I've been using TP Link 861N cards which utilize the same chipset for a decade or so now in A3x and ...

Funny. Here I am recalling how I purchased my first SSD in February 2014. It was a 500GB Evo 840, and at $300 that was a good deal back then.

In late 2008 or thereabouts I paid close to $900 for an Intel X-25E...

Intel X-25E SLC SSDs for my T43pSF, 32GB with W2K and 64GB with W7 Pro.

Intel 320 series 160GB for my X60T.

Welcome to the forum.

T61 was never shipped with W7, WXP and Vista only.

If either of these works for your needs, you can post a WTB (want to buy) ad in the forum's Marketplace and someone will be able to set you up with a set.

Good luck.

Drivers are here:

https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad- ... m/T60.html

In the future, you can just click on the "Drivers" link at the top of the page and locate the ones that you need.

Good luck.

That's one gorgeous ThinkPad. Congrats on grabbing it.

Now, you may want to "get under the hood" and re-paste along with installing Middleton's BIOS and then proceed with an upgrade or three more unless you intend it to just sit there as a museum piece.

I believe that the VRAM corruption on the T60/Z61 is not as common as the nVidia failures on T61.

Agreed. There's also an option of getting a Z61m board with Intel integrated graphics.

VRAM corruption has been observed on ATi-equipped units, and not just by yours truly.

Wi-fi cards are whitelisted, but there's a Zender's modded BIOS that helps one overcome that issue, along with a couple of other goodies...
