FS- T23 that doesn't power up for CHEAP or FT- for T22 stuff

My wife spilled a soda on the table and this was a casualty. The soda went into the vents right under the PCMCIA slots. It didn't get much soda in it and it looks like it's perfect now but it obviously messed something up.
It worked PERFECTLY before this happened. Now it won't power up or anything.
So, I would like to sell it / trade it for parts for my other t22's.
I need a mini pci ethernet card ( 10/100 EtherJet Mini PCI Adapter with 56K Modem FRU 19K5888 has worked ) that works on a T22.
I need 2 - 256mb ram chips for the T22's
I need a pcmcia wifi card that works on XP AND ubuntu also has to support WPA.

My T23 is being sold/traded without HD, Battery, Ram, NIC/56k card, bios battery and dvd drive. It will include all covers and has a good XP pro coa.
It is a TYPE 2647-8pu S/N 78-Z6LXX
Price $30 plus actual shipping charges.

It's probably cheaper to pick up (e.g. on Fleabay) a working T23 with a broken LCD (or other broken parts), rather than try and buy RAM for the T22!

I believe I hav those rams. They're PC133 144-pin if I recall correctly. Rare to find nowadays. I have a few 128MB. Pulled from T2x series laptops.

I also have a 512MB one, market value is like $60.

pls PM me.

Oh, btw, I have T2x laptops. whole units, working condition. (just need to replace CMOS battery)

The 256MB modules have to be low-density (8-chips per side) to work in the the T22. One exception: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=68523

I'm pretty sure the 512MB modules would be high density and won't work with the T22.

The T20/21/22 need PC100 Low-Density RAM.
Maximum is 2 x 256MB = 512MB Total!

Exceptions: as mentioned above, and Crucial sells low-density PC133 that is guaranteed to also work in a PC100 T2x.
