Thinkpads Forum

I wanted to get the SLim HS (SATA adapter) and the 8 cells battery for my X60.

An 8 cells battery costs about 200-250 euros most of the time, at least that's the prices I saw on the web.
I looked for FRU for the battery and found one manufactured by Sanyo: 200 euros and one made by Sony 100 euros.

Odd isn't it ?

I bought both (Sony battery and adapter) this weekend but price for adapter was quote. Got an email monday morning with paiment details. Did it immediately (bank transfer).

I was surpruse to get an email tuesday morning stating everything was ok and shipped. Thursday going bak from work, everything was waiting for me.

Now this is service IMO. And at a very nice price too BTW.

I love IBM/LENOVO

AHHH....it is so nice to hear positive comments again about IBM/Lenovo.

Yeah. Too much criticisms against the best all the time.

I buy two second hand T41 (T41 and T41p). They both have some scrachs on the cover and *used* keyboards. When I see the FRU prices, I buy all chassis parts : lcd cover, keybord bezel and key board. 9 cells battery as FRU costs 86 € as FRU but 180 € as accessory. So, I also order two !
Order on monday, bank transfert just after the mail, all parts were at home on friday with UPS. Nice job for IBM/Lenovo Belgium.

Some FRU don't worth : hdd, cpu and memory. LCD and mainbord issue are so high priced (+700 € each), it's cheaper to buy an other second hand Thinkpad.
