The T42 FRU manual says that the 14.1" LCD assembly should be removed before replacing the CPU. Anybody know why? Has anyone done the CPU swap on a T4X?

Come on - somebody must have replaced their CPU...

Andrew,

AFAIK you only need to remove it to get it out of the way, it's not necessary for access to the CPU.

Regards,

James

Well - I did it. I didn't need to remove the LCD. The fan was the hardest part.

I now have a 2.1GHz T42! Feels faster - but that could just be my brain not wanting to feel silly about spending $500 for a new CPU.

(Anybody want to buy a 1.7GHz Dothan?)
