So my only concern regarding the SSD should be if it supports TRIM? Any issues with various controllers?

I am thinking of attempting this mod for my t41p.
As I cannot find any ST663FD9 or ST-173-7 adapters on eBay, can someone suggest another one? I have only found various chinese no name adapters.
Will the mod work with any msata SSD? I have found a cheap Samsung and was thinking of buying it.
Thanks

Thank you!
Type is TYPE 2373-315

I am looking for a replacement screen inverter for my T41p, and have found one on eBay with part number 6P8464. It states that it will fit the T41, but does anyone know if it will be ok for the T41p? Do they use the same inverter board? Thanks

That's true... I'll think about it. Thanks everyone!

Hold it! T43/R52 motherboards use different CPU, RAM and PCMCIA cage from all other T4x/R5x! You can NOT swap out just the motherboard, even though it will fit! Yeah, I am also considering upgrading the CPU and RAM, to ones that will be compatible with the t43p motherboard. Not sure about the price...

All motherboards from the T4x range are interchangeable, so I would get a T43/p motherboard instead. These motherboards are far less prone to the gpu issue and support faster processors. They are a lot more expensive on ebay too, unfortunately. If I end up buying a T41p motherboard will I be able t...

Hi everyone, I am thinking of reviving my old T41p which has all sorts of problems including a broken gpu. Since I cannot resolder the gpu chip I will be buying a new t41p motherboard from ebay. I had read somewhere that the motherboard in all t41p/t42p/t43p are almost the same and if you put a 533m...

Thanks guys, I installed the drivers from the Lenovo site but it didn't fix the problem. At least I found how to actually switch between graphics so for now I'm ok. I will give a go at that system update app. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I recently bought a refurbished T400 from eBay, I got type 2768, the one with both Intel and AMD graphics, and I performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I am having problems with the AMD drivers since it makes everything a bit blocky and pixelated, especially gradien...

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I will most probably go for the IBM 2200BG, I found it on ebay on a reasonable price. I will also buy a 34mm SD reader express card.
Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I got a second hand T41 that unfortunately didn't have a wireless card installed. I found some wireless cards that are compatible but could someone please suggest the best ones? (if there are any diffrerences) Also is the T41 compatible with express cards? I want to add a SD card reader...
