compatible parts on t42 with the T61?

#1 Post by jacksonheights » Thu Feb 28, 2008 10:34 pm

I have a T42 I'm looking to upgrade, and was wondering if the 9cell battery and AC adapter are compatible with the T61? I thought I read somewhere that at least the AC adapter is not?

Nor is the AC adaptor since they switched from 16v to 20v with the T6x line.
Work: T42p (XP, UXGA IPS); T60p (XP, UXGA IPS); T60/61 FPad (Win 7, UXGA IPS).
Play: X1 (first gen, Win 7); T450s (Win 7).

Ultrabay devices should be compatible.

And trackpoint caps.

More power required for the T6x series - part of the attraction :oops:

Only the ultrabay would work, but would not be flush to the body. Pretty much everything else has been redesigned in the T6x
