Buying motherboard for T400
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2014 8:38 am
Hi,
My T400 stopped working. I have started the thread on Lenovo's forum site and in the end I was told that my motherboard must be faulty and I need to replace it. I called Lenovo support and they told me the price around $700. For that amount I can buy new laptop, although not exactly this model. Still, I think it is way too expensive and it's not worth it for almost 5 year old laptop.
I was then given the link for this forum, which I wasn't awa of. Can anyone please suggest where can I buy new/used motherboard for the dicent price, but also from the trusted source so that it will work? I bought once a cooler on eBay and it turned out that it was used, but claiming as new.
Laptop details:
T400 Type:9474 - 17G
Motherboard FRU: 42W8125 (PLNR X4500)
Thank you
