Need Repair Shop Recommendations

#1 Post by redking » Sat Jun 24, 2017 12:42 am

My T400 is fried. There is nothing on the built-in display and the only activity light is the wireless. The problem is detailed here: viewtopic.php?p=731793

I don't have a soldering iron and the only time I've ever done it was back in high school - I was terrible at it. So I'm looking for a recommendation for a repair shop in the Philly or the surrounding area that can test and replace the necessary fuses to get my T400 working again.

Thanks!

It will be cheaper and easier to replace the motherboard.
Check the HMM for illustrated instructions: https://thinkpads.com/support/hmm/hmm_p ... 629_05.pdf
And check my website: http://theboardroom.info/stock.html where I offer a T400 mobo complete with CPU/fan/wifi/chassis.
Only $40 shipped.
Or you can send me your laptop and I'll do the replacement for you (also see that webpage).
PM me if interested.

The motherboard you have in stock for T400 won't work for mine.

Why not, it will work in ANY T400.
