Does anyone have one of these available please? Preferably to collect within the Greater London area, else for delivery within the UK.

Thanks.

Since there are a number of different T43 motherboards ("different" in the sense having fingerprint-reader or not, different GPU's) I suggest you post the specific MT (model/type) of your T43, e.g. 1871-FWG or whatever. Then, through using System service parts - ThinkPad T43, T43p you may find the specific FRU-number (Field Replacable Unit) of your motherboard. Alternatively, go to the Warranty Lookup page, enter the model-number (e.g. 1871) and the serial number of your T43 (these numbers are printed on the label, at the bottom), and on the following page select: "View parts lookup results for this system" and let us know the P/N and the FRU of the item named "PLANAR ASSEMBLY FRU", as that's what you're looking for!

PS: If you (potentially) consider having your motherboard repaired, see the thread Providers to fix GPU problems in Europe.

All the T43 boards have fingerprint chips. (biometric coprocessor). Do you want 14" or 15"? ATi or Intel graphics? With or without CPU/Fan?
