[SOLD]: T61p with fan in need of replacement
I have a T61p that I used primarily at home. It was top of the line back when the T61 series just came out complete with additional accessories. However it is now suffering from a failed fan and shuts down when overheated.
I bought a fan off of ebay and tried to replace it myself but ended up stripping one of the screws on the current fan and can't figure out how to take it off-- maybe somebody else can figure it out. Even if you can't, it can be parted out pretty easily.
There is no wear on the keyboard since I used an external keyboard most of the time though the trackpad is kind of flaky -- perhaps related to the fan issue.
Here are the specs:
T61p 6459-CTO
Samsung 15.4" WSXGA+ 1680x1050
Intel C2D T9300 2.5Ghz
Quadro FX570m (256mb)
3GB RAM
200GB 7200rpm with built in encryption
HD caddy that fits in DVD/CDRW slot
DVD/CDRW combo
Intel Pro/Wireless 4965a/g/n
Bluetooth
9-cell battery
I don't have the original AC adapter but I can do one better -- Lenovo's Ultraslim AC/DC travel adapter which is almost $100 in itself. See http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 72900.html Comes with the two-way splitter too to charge a usb device as well.
Also including a CaseLogic reversible laptop sleeve and some extra trackpoint nubs. I'll include the replacement fan as well. There is slight wear on the top of laptop as well as corners as thinkpads are famous for.
Asking $250 + shipping from Canada. SOLD!
Thanks for looking,
Jon

All PMs replied to.
I won't have time to ship this out until after Christmas day by the way.
Here are pics since a few people asked.

Update: There are several buyers lined up to purchase this. However, I have not been able to get to the post office yet to get a shipping estimate. It looks like I won't have time to format/pack and ship it out until the new year. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You're right, it's not that difficult but I don't ship large things often. Anyway, I've contacted the first buyer in line.
Thanks,
Jon
