SOLD: Nicely spec.'d, high resolution T42 in excellent condition.

*Image Removed*

This machine had the loose GPU issue, but I sent it out for professional repair and it now works perfectly. See this link for much more info on the repair (and the quote below) --> http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=72974

We did a complete remove, reball and replacement of the existing GPU on the logic board. The entire GPU has new solder balls on it therefore the solder joints/connections from the GPU to the solder pads on the logic board are new.

The operating condition is perfect, no issues at all. The battery is in excellent shape, lasts approximately 3 hours. There are only two very minor cosmetic issues, 1) very light scuffs on the cover, and 2) label on bottom of machine is scratched. The high resolution LCD is gorgeous, with bright even lighting, it's hard to find one this nice.

Price reduced to $280 delivered in the U.S. PayPal, USPS money orders or cash accepted. (This machine is in beautiful condition, is complete and just had the GPU reballed!)
