MODERATOR: PLEASE LOCK. Thanks Dave

Posted here first for a few days, then on to Craigslist and/or eBay. If this one doesn’t strike your fancy, keep watching this space… will have more A31, T30 and T23 rebuilds posted in the coming days and weeks.

EDIT: Pic Links Added Below


A31p 2653-BU6

Original description:

Based on 2653-RU5

P4-M 2.0 GHz .... upgraded to P4-M 2.6 GHz

512MB RAM..... upgraded to 2 Gig (2 x 1 Gig, both IBM/Lenovo branded)

60 GB HDD..... upgraded to WD Scorpio 1600BEVE 160Gb 5400 RPM hard drive.

(This is a PATA hard drive, and is covered under Western Digital warranty until July 2011. Drive manufacture date is July 2008).

15.0 UXGA-IPS (1600 x 1200)..... upgraded with new (IBM refurb) UXGA-IPS Flexview screen.. just the usual perfect UXGA!

Wireless... upgraded from 802.11b (MPCI) to Atheros AR5005GS 802.11b/g/super g (108 Mps). 1802 patch applied to BIOS, and 019C patch applied to the cards' EEPROM. Atheros drivers installed and fully operational. Runs well under IBM Access connections. The wireless antennas are the original lid-installed antennas.

Bluetooth wireless card present, original BT antenna installed, and correct inverter and on/off power button functional on the screen bezel.

NO Modem …non-functional due to replacement by the Atheros B/G wireless card…if you require the modem, I will have to replace the Atheros B/G card with the original IBM wireless (802.11b only)/modem card, OR I can supply/install a PCMCIA 56k modem card at no charge. (Can’t guarantee which brand, I have several around here.)

Ethernet (CDC) 10/100

New (IBM Refurb) CDRW-DVD in Ultrabay Plus. The Ultrabay2000 will contain an empty IBM PATA Hard Disk Drive Adapter Tray.

Video In/Out. Parallel. Serial. External Monitor. 2 x USB 1.1

Excellent condition IBM Li-On battery. Green with 89 cycles count. 38/43 Watt Hours.

Latest BIOS updates applied.

WinXP Pro Service Pack 3 installed and updated. WinXP COA included.

Thinkvantage System updates installed.

Includes correct 16V 4.5A A/C adapter.


Spec’d to a top-of the-line A31p model. The plastics are in great shape – a few scuffs and marks on the lid. As-new palmrest. As-new keyboard. And of course, an absolutely stunningly crisp and sharp 1600 x 1200 UXGA-IPS Flexview display. This display is fresh-from-the-IBM-refurb-box and is as clear and bright as they come, of course no marks, scratches, or dead pixels of any kind.

All screws, caps and covers present.

I recently purchased a few IBM-refurbished A31p system boards (64Mb, Firewire, Video In/Out) and the first of these is what is installed in this unit, so no BGO issues, and no operational issues of any kind.

They don’t come much better than this for a 3-spindle Thinkpad. IBM-refurbished system board, IBM-refurbished UXGA-IPS screen, 2.6 gig processor, 2 gigs of IBM memory, roomy 160 gig hard drive, and a fast Atheros wireless card. All system board components were thoroughly tested with Notebook Hardware Control, Memtest86, and PC Doctor after installation.

Priced at $515.00 U.S. and includes shipping to Canada & the continental U.S.

Other Worldwide locations, please PM for rate. I can subsidize part of the shipping, but anything outside Can/U.S. is extremely expensive. Payment by Cash, Paypal, Money Order, Bank Wire Transfer, personal checks (checks will be held until cleared by my bank.) Will be shipped insured by Canada Post Expedited Parcel.

Pics will be up and linked in a few days. My camera is away being cleaned at the moment, and I refuse to post cell-phone images due to the low quality.
