FS: brand new T41 motherboard with ATI GPU P/N 39T5433
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 4:53 am
Well, I have a Thinkpad T41 with the infamous GPU issue. I had the motherboard repaired, but that only lasted about 6 months and the GPU issue came back. Last month I finally decided I was going to repair my T41 and started shopping for a replacement motherboard. Well, somehow my order quantity was 2 instead of 1. I used one to repair my T41 which works great now! But I don't have any use for the 2nd one and it was too much hassle to return (restocking fee, shipping, etc.).
This is a brand new motherboard part number 39T5433. The 2nd one that I didn't use is still sealed, but the one I used to repair my T41 was manufactured in 2008. I verified with IBM/Lenovo that this part number would be compatible with my T41 (which had a different part number) and they told me this 39T5433 is the newest replacement part for my T41.
So, if anyone else has the GPU issue and would like to replace your motherboard with a brand new one, I have one for sale... I'd like to get $100 for it shipped within the US. Paypal only. Or, cash if you can pickup somewhere in San Diego, CA.
Before you buy, I recommend that you open up the memory cover on the back and you can find your current motherboard part number. Call up IBM/Lenovo support and make sure the part I'm selling will be a compatible replacement for your thinkpad.
Let me know if you're interested or have questions....
