Re: DVD + or - RW for dvd burner

Since you are posting your question here, in the T6x-subforum, I assume that you are hence making implicit reference to a burner in a T6x ThinkPad. If this assumption is correct, you'll find detailled specs for a couple of the most common T6x multi-burners in the thread FS: Ultrabay Slim DVD-RW burn...

Re: Will any t42 mobo work in 15 inch t42p ?

If of interest, I have several (tested, functioning perfectly) T42p motherboards (i.e. w/GPU = ATI Mobility FireGL T2, having 128 MB VRAM), and with fingerprint-reader support. Bought, tested-good, kept "in stock" as spares. Contact me if of interest.

If you haven't yet found, what you're looking for, and wish to search elsewhere (e.g. on eBay), you will find relevant part-numbers (other than FRU 45J7902/P/N 45J7901) in this post.

Re: Thinkpad T61 with LQ154M1LW02

Welcome to the forum!

The reason why the (ex-Dell) panel you tried to install in yout T61 doesn't work might be because the lack of the (proper) EDID-chip. Try search this forum for more info about what this "EDID" is all about... e.g. use this search method.
