Parting out my T40p 2373-G3U

Well, much to my dismay, my video card is dead and is rendering my T40p useless, so after looking into several options, I have decided to part it out and just buy another. So, if you need any parts let me know. Most everything on the laptop is in excellent condition and a few parts are actually relatively new that I had just upgraded about 6 months ago. Anyways, here are the highlights - if you need anything else, I probably have it, so just ask.

14.1" LCD screen with bluetooth and wifi antennas
Thinkpad (Atheros) a/b wireless network card
Thinkpad (atheros) a/b/g wireless network card (only a few months old)
512 MB RAM that came with the system
1 GB RAM that I upgraded to (Crucial Memory only a few months old)
Bluetooth card (Actiontec IIRC)
Ultrabay slim CD/DVD/CD-RW
Intel 1.6 GHz Centrino Mobile Processor
Processor/Video card fan
2 Palmrests with touchpad (one has a few small cracks that I superglued together, the other is perfect mechanically but has a visual blemish where I took the stickers off)
Thinkpad keyboard with trackpoint mouse and buttons
all the case parts are in good to excellent condition
I also have a 4 GB hard drive that I used as an external drive - now I am going to use my Thinkpad hard drive, so the 60GB drive is not for sale.
Extended battery that is decent. Good enough to use the computer for short periods of time unplugged, but not good for people that are mobile a lot. Lasts about 2 hours under normal use as an estimate.
lastly, I have a dead motherboard due to a faulty video card - in case anyone wants to try to fix it.

Just PM me if you are interested in anything. Also I am in the US and my zipcode is 24301 in case you want to calculate shipping.

please - if you are interested in a part, just make me a fair offer. I'm not trying to get rich, but I also don't want to give them away since I am trying to raise money towards a new computer. You can look up the new prices on Lenovo's site and just discount it for usage and what you would like to pay. You pay shipping.

I could spend some time and put prices on everything, but that doesn't find me a buyer - tell me what you want to pay and if I think it is fair, it is yours!

the best way to get a response from me is to send me a PM. I really don't check this site much, but I get emails when I get a PM.

The wireless cards are as follows:
The a/b/g card is FRU P/N 39T0355
The a/b card is FRU P/N 91P7265

I have no idea which models they are compatible with - I would assume anything that has a miniPCI slot, but that is just a guess. If you don't have a T40p, then I can't tell you for sure if they are what you need.

I have had a lot of offers (some fair, some not), but so far I haven't sold anything! So, all parts are still available.

Please - I am not into wasting time, so if you want something, just send me a fair offer and be serious. It just isn't good etiquette to send an offer and then back out when I accept!

I consider a "fair" offer to be one that can be backed up by ebay prices or some other source and then discount it a little. Obviously, if I am going to take a beating on these parts here, I'll just go to ebay and sell everything, so just be reasonable.

Just a tip, a short while back I had great succes parting out a T40.

I listed all available items with desired prices. Everything sold quickly except the flakey systemboard. I sold that on eBay for nearly twice what I was asking in my forum ad.

A picture helps, too. Good luck. My ad is below.

"Thinkpad (atheros) a/b/g wireless network card (only a few months old)"

I've never used an Atheros card before. I wonder if this would have a better range than an Intel 2200bg. I just picked up a T40 without a wifi card, so I'll be looking for a card.
