Will any t42 mobo work in 15 inch t42p ?

#1 Post by WarhawkCZ » Sat May 12, 2018 8:30 am

Hello Everyone, my question is straightforward:

Will any motherboard from t42 work in t42p ? I have a dead t42p and don't know what to do with it. I read the forum but I am not completely sure, especially considering the UXGA display.

Thanks for any hint.

Any R50/R51 and T40/T41/T42 motherboard with ATI graphics will work in any 14.1" and 15" T4x.
Intel graphics will only work with 14.1" XGA and 15" XGA or SXGA+.

If of interest, I have several (tested, functioning perfectly) T42p motherboards (i.e. w/GPU = ATI Mobility FireGL T2, having 128 MB VRAM), and with fingerprint-reader support. Bought, tested-good, kept "in stock" as spares. Contact me if of interest.

For a T43/T43p (and R52) you need different CPU and RAM.
The same ATI/Intel display "rules" as above apply.
