IBM Thinkpad T42 - 2378-FVU:

Warranty information

2378 FVU 99P****

Status: Expiration date: Location:
In warranty 2008-02-21 UNITED STATES
The system currently has a extra 512MB of RAM for a 768MB of RAM i can upgrade it some more if needed so let me know what you're looking for. The Hard Drive has also been upgraded to a Fijitsu 60GB 5400RPM and still has recovery partition!!

Included:
IBM Thinkpad Port Replicator II
IBM OEM 6 Cell Battery (45% of Capacity Remaining, 41 Cycles) (FRU P/N: 92P1011)
IBM External Floppy for use with Docks/Recaplicators (FRU P/N: 05K8874)
IBM External UltraBay 2000 Connector (FRU P/N: 05K6187)

Battery was actually "new" when i got it but i just think it needs to be reconditioned to be brought up some. It was full 2-3 months ago.

***Oh and the current 6 Cell battery has about 80% of it's original charge and yes it comes with it and an AC Adapter include for the price below, will get screenshots later***
*
Below are some items that are NOT INCLUDED but can be if you would like it to be for an additional price or purchased seperately.

Accessories:
IBM Thinkpad Dock w/4 USB ports (FRU P/N: 13R0291)
Special AC Adapter for Dock (FRU P/N: 02k7092)

Hard Drives:
Seagate 120GB 5400RPM Drive (PATA)
Wester Digital 80GB 5400RPM Drive (PATA)

Condition:
LCD = 10/10
Keyboard - 9/10 (Not sure if it's ALPS or NIMB or Chicony)
Palmrest = 10/10 - Centrino and Windows XP Sticker Good
Body = 9/10 (Few minor scratches)
Back of LCD = 9/10 (Few minor scratches)

Price: $500 (Starting there but negotiable)

Note There's one single issue i just found about it. The LCD latch on the right side is broken. The left one is still there and keeps the lid shut tho. I'm not sure if i did it or i got it that way. I'm not sure if it's fixable from Lenovo since it's still under warranty. If not then they $15 on eBay.com and i might just buy it and ship it to you. We'll see about that. :D

Trading: I am looking for a UltraBay HD Adapter for the T4x series. I've seen them for $14.99 plus $7 shipping and/or a Good UltraBay Battery.

Contact: IF you must PM me then go ahead but i'd much rather you email me at SHoTTa35@OpTOnline.net as PMs only generate an email anyways :)

George, I agree that this is a very nice deal. It's quite similar to my T42, which is one of the three most satisfying Thinkpads I've ever owned. The T42 was the pinnacle of the T4* series. It performs better than the T40 and T41, and it's without the fan noise and hard drive issues of the T43.

How much are you asking for the Drives?

Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2007 7:46 pm

the drives by themselves or as an upgrade?

Well someone sent me these links:

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... e=10006055

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... e=10005073

so i figured

120GB Segate = $70 shipped
80GB WD = $50 shipped

As upgrades i can probably knock off $20 off each drive and include them there.

yes the machine is still available but might not be in a short while.

I've been a bit of a pain in the butt lately so sorry to all involved parties :( Just was a bit confused as to keep it or not.

Keep forgetting to put that this machine has been SOLD!

Thanks for looking :)

It would make more sense to edit the topic title so that someone does not have to open and read the thread to figure out it has been sold.

.e.g - **SOLD** Mint Thinkpad T42 - Accessories Galore! [LRG PIC]
