T42 inside a T40?

[jayfox09]

I was wondering if you could fit a T42p Mobo inside a T40.

Thank You in advance.

If you have a quick look in the following threads: T41 Motherboard Replacement Compatibility and Replacement board assembly and t42 and r52 motherboards compatible? I believe you will find the answer!

Best regards,

I wish for once, in here ..... a simple yes or no would suffice..........

SO WILL IT WORK?

I have been wanting to transplant a R51 board into a A30 case. So far outside of the case it works fine I am now trying to modify the exhaust duct, sides and backplate to accomodate the newer board with very thin glass fiber, which I intend to spray black once the entire system is ready. The screws holes have been re-aligned superglued into place, which I have found isnt strong enough so I am trying to find a stronger solution, hence I say, the system still works outside the old chassis... The system even works on the A3X batteries

You mean you have hte R51 mobo working with ALL the hardware of the A30 but without the base and covers?

Please keep us informed of your progress, but i think you will have to do it in the A,G, R forum.
