My notebook: IBM ThinkPad T42p Type 2373 - HTG .... 15 inch monitor.
P M 745, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 15 UXGA(1600x1200) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2
My motherboard of T42p was damaged by a static electricity when I connected an USB device (USB disk).
Here is an explanation of my problem:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_USB_2.0
I am searching IBM ThinkPad T42p motherboard ... or compatible T40, T41, T42 motherboard for 15.4 inch screen that may fit into my notebook. Remaining component must fit in a motherboard.
Motherboard may have some small malfunction... example: USB or LAN NOT working ... but can be replaced with PCMCIA card. I am interested even in re-flowed/refurbished/repaired motherboard.
I am from a poor country ... so I have a LOW budget to fix the notebook ... all the costs around 100 $.
This notebook was a gift. It worked for 2 months.
It was great to have it. Great notebook.
I do NOT want to sell it for spare parts. It does NOT deserve to be a spare part.
If you know FRU of compatible motherboards ... please feel free to write them.
I contacted "baisley" for re-flowed/refurbished/repaired motherboard .... but he is offline from Feb 25.
I am NOT from USA but I have a relative in UK that may buy the motherboard and sent it to me.
(This is for sellers that do not ship outside "modern world")
Any help will be deeply appreciated
Thanks for your answers/tips and sorry for bad English.
