FS: T42p 14" FrankenPad - Needs work

#1 Post by dshin198 » Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:32 pm

This is my most precious ThinkPad that I have.

I've upgraded it to the following spec:
  • Base - T42 14.1"
  • CPU - Pentium M 2.0 (SL7EM)
  • GPU - ATI Fire GL T2
  • RAM - 2GB
  • HDD - Aleratec (Marvell Controller) mSATA to PATA Adapter
    I used it with Crucial M550 128GB mSATA on LM17.1 Cinnamon with no problem
  • Display - 14.1" TFT 1400x1050 (SXGA+)
  • WAN - TP-LINK TL-WN861N, 300Mbps, IEEE 802.1b/g/n
    +Blutooth Enabled (BMDC-2)
  • Power - Two adapters, new OEM 6cell battery + Ultrabay Battery
It also comes with an extra motherboard (lowest GPU), CPU(1.7GHz), and an extra monitor unit (whole top part) with XGA display on it.

I'm currently running LM17.2 on it, and it's rather nice, I must say!

Just as luck would have it, the left hinge broke as I finished writing this post... As I have a spare monitor unit with the hinge, I can exchange it at an additional cost, but I assume anybody interested in buying T42p at this point knows how to fix these sorts of problem.

I'm asking $160+shipping at the moment - I'm only trying to get what I have invested in the project out.
Please do not hesitate making an offer if you think the price is not reasonable.

Please let me know if you are interested!

According to the forum rules, you must post an asking price.

What aspect of the machine needs work?

I'm terribly sorry with the missing information. As I was trying to 'Preview', I accidentally pressed submit. All the information should be corrected with the detail about the issue.

I apologize for my mistake! :bow:
