FS: clean TP41 w/upgrades + NIB replacement keyboard: $375
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 1:37 am
I bought this TP41 2373-R03 in July 2006 from a private seller on Fleabay
for $660 with a year of original warranty left on it at the time; it started showing some
lines on the display, so I sent it in to IBM and they replaced the 'Planar
card" which I think is the graphics display adapter card. While still
under warranty I complained that a key was sticking and they sent me a new
kb for it which I never installed, but I can switch it out for you or just send it along.
I installed 1gb of RAM which now makes a 1.5gb ram system and upgraded the
original 40gb HDD to a Seagate 5400rpm 100 gb drive- big improvements. Added a
new IBM 'Made in Japan' battery about 3 months ago which runs it at most conservative setting
for almost 2.5 hrs. [enough to watch a movie]. Those 3 improvements cost about $250.
Also, it has a really good Dell case. That's what it came with from the Fleabay seller.
Includes MS XP o/s with COA decal and just the basic s/w that it came with and all the latest drivers and BIOS updates.
It's seen little use and is cosmetically clean without any screen blemishes or dead pixels. It is missing a couple of the original rubber feet, but otherwise a very clean and improved TP41.
It's been a great machine, but it gets little use on a shelf over my desk with an external kb. Most of the time I use a toshiba ultraportable at the familyroom couch or kitchen table.
I'm asking $375 and I'll email pics if you're interested.
