Flex issue with T43 2668-CTO, looking for mother board

[jidx]

I replaced my T43 with a T400 and love it when my T43 unexpectedly started shutting down due to what I believe is a detached video card from the mother board. I would like to bring my T43 back to life, but I'm not sure where I can find a replacement mother board at a decent price. I was quoted $500 about a year ago and that's when i decided to go with the T400. Any leads would be appreciated

If you want to avoid the problem forever, might I recommend an R5x board with an Intel GPU?

As long as the screen is standard XGA one, this is a sound and well-tested piece of advice...

Currently The Board Room does not have any T43/R52 mobos, and we don't have any Intel GPU boards either.
TBR can also not take in any repair orders for the time being, SORRY.

I wasn't aware that The Board Room was out of planars for T43 and R52, apologies.

If you choose to proceed with replacing the board with a T43 one, feel free to drop me a PM.

Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestions. I hope to get one of my favorite ThinkPads working again soon.
