Thinkpads Forum

New announcement:

Want to buy a palmrest for a Thinkpad T60 15.0" 4:3. Preferably without a fingerprint reader, but you can offer fp-reader too.
The plastics must be solid, no cracks etc, but normal surface wear can be accepted.

OLD POST:
I'm searching for a fully functional T60p 15.0" (4:3) mainboard, used or a new-old-stock.

Must be with the FireGL v5200 or v5250 graphics.

Please, send offers by PM or write here. Sellers inside the EU area are preferred, because of duty costs. However if the price is right, everything is possible.

PM coming about a mint v5250 board, but I also suggest you talk to realblackstuff and ajkula66, I believe they have some v5200 boards.

Found one T60p v5200 motherboard.

I'll leave the thread open, in case of somebody has an extra v5250 board for a low price. The mainboard doesn't need to be mint, as long it is fully functional and most important, has a bargain price. The v5200 board is probably enough for me, but its good to have a spare board.

Glad you found a deal. The v5200 board is only marginally less powerful than the v5250, the major difference between them is the v5200 was used on 32bit systems with intel core duo cpu and the v5250 used the much more powerful 64bit core2 duo cpu, however with a recent bios update you can upgrade your v5200 board to use a core2 cpu upto T7600.

If anyone else is interested, the v5250 board I have was pulled from my own high-end T60p model 2007-ys3. The laptop was as close to dead mint when I got it and I only used it for a couple months before upgrading to a T61p board. I want $89 for the board which I think is a great price, but if someone wants a v5200 board I believe ajkula66 and realblackstuff both have them for $60.

I also have T7600, T7200 and T5500 core2 duo cpu chips available.

Update:
The T60p mainboard from user "lab" seems to work so good, that a spare one seems to be unnecessary.
Many thanks to lab for the mainboard.

Now I only need the palmrest. I even got one offer, but accidentally deleted the message.

Still looking for the palmrest... surely this cannot be so rare item.

At least the palmrests with these numbers will fit to the 15.0" T60 model:
- Without fp-reader: 41V9072 / 41V9907 / 41V9073
- With fp-reader: 42W3011
