Thinkpads Forum

I have for sale a Thinkpad T43p, type 2668-H8U that is no longer used. I kept it for photograph storage and as an Itunes server, but finally got tired of using a separate laptop just for that purpose. It's in excellent condition, has never had the video chip problem, or any other problem for that matter. I got it as a factory refurb, dated 05/06. Basic specs as follows:

Pentium M 2.13 GHz processor
HD is a Fujitsu MHV2100 AH PL ata (100 Gb.)
Matshita DVD-RAM UJ 822s ATA
2 Gb memory
Atheros Wireless 11 a/b/g
Windows 7 premium 32 bit. (licensed)

Asking $125.00 + shipping, U.S. only. Paypal ok, but you pay the charges. Pictures available at:

... just to add a few more details about the (ab stock) configuration of this T43p:

Lenovo's Support page says about the [b]ThinkPad T43p (2668-H8U)[/b] wrote: P M 770, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB 7200 rpm HDD, 15 UXGA (1600x1200) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL V3200, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner, IBM 802.11 a/b/g wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1 Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, 9 cell Li-Ion Batt, WinXP Pro

... so we're talking a 4:3 FlexView/IPS ThinkPad here!

Questions:

1) About the LCD: Does it have: a) Any dead or stuck pixels and b) Does it have any "dust specs" (dust behind the LCD front-glass), and c) How about the condition of the CCFL (ageing?!); does the LCD show any signs of darkening in the corners/sides? Check all of this using e.g. the free Dead Pixel Buddy

2) Does the original Windows 7 installation CD's/DVD's with the original, legally purchaced serial-number come with this T43p?

3) Does it have the XP COA attached to the bottom, and if so does the original T43/p XP recovery media also come with the laptop?

Thanks in advance for updating your ad with all of this very interesting and relevant information!

Good luck with the sale!

Hi Johan
Ok, let's see here, in answer to your questions-
1. No dead or stuck pixels. Very slight darkening in bottom left and right corners, no yellowing of display, still very bright.
2. It's a windows 7 PREMIUM install, I made a recovery disc for it. I updated the XP install with one of those 3 licenses for home use discs that MS offered a few years ago. Can't find any of the original Thinkpad XP install discs.
3. Still has the XP COA on the bottom.

This laptop spent its whole life on a desk, it never traveled. I used either the X31 or X60 in my signature for that.
