T61 TuuS's replacement motherboards
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2021 4:58 pm
Hello there, I heard that it was possible to get my hands on a NOS/modified motherboard for a T61, is it true ?
Just for context, I bought not long ago a Thinkpad T61 but it turn out that it has the famous faulty nvidia Quadro NVS 140M (for 27€/~$32, it wasn't a huge loss and I kinda half-expected to have that problem). The intergrated display is a pain to look at with the image totaly scrambled, but with an external display, it's okay, I just have color stripes.
After searching a bit on Google, I heard that some motherboards from after feb 2008 could make a good replacement, unfortunately :
1. It's a pain to track the FRU from these boards
2. and when I found one, it's overpriced.
Then, after googling even more, I heard about some New Old Stock/modified (frankenpads) motherboards were sold by the guy named TuuS.
How can I contact him to get my hand a better fonctionnal board for my T61 ?
