Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
So ..I have aquired yet another TP600X which I'd like to restore ..
This one is in really good condition but although powers up ..there is no display ..
nor output from the VGA I/O ..
I have borrowed a the pcb from one of my other units ..and this produces results.
I have to assume dead GPU
In short I need a replacement ..
I have searched Ebay but drawn blanks ..
600E are quite prolific ..but sadly not the 600X
anyone know where I might obtain one ..?

I wanted to upload images ..but I guess the forum doesn't allow pictures ?

While we get the occasional s30 out here, I would say that I can't help with 600-series computers.Vipersan wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 7:53 amSo ..I have aquired yet another TP600X which I'd like to restore ..

Good luck on finding another 600.

Re: Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
This symptom doesn't have to be a dead GPU. It may be a dead cpu, faulty soldered RAM, near dead power delivery unit, a toast display cable, or just some oxidized alumium alloy on the mobo connectors. You have to take the whole thing apart to know, and those things crack pretty easily if you try to open them up.

Re: Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
If you want to buy a 600X, I can offer to sell you one. It is a 600X with 500MHz PIII processor and 576MB screen. It is in working condition but rough shape. Asking for US$100 not including shipping from PA.

Re: Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
Thanks for the replies...but..
I may well have solved my problem ..
time will tell.
I suspect the cpu pcb I require is a Pentium II not as I thought ..a PIII ..
and my fruitless searches using the model and type yield zero results ..
I then started searching using the numbers on the pcb paper label ..
All of them ..and again ..drew a blank.
Then I searched using the 3 chunks of IDENT on the label ..individually ..
Searching using the second 'chunk' of Ident 01k3266 ...was the needed search info
et voila ..
results came thick and fast ...and I found a 300mhz 512k PII on ebay for under £10.
fingers crossed tightly for a successful outcome.

Re: Replacement cpu/gpu pcb for TP600X 2645-850
600 series underwent 3 transitions:
MMC-1 has 2 rows of white connectors to motherboard, 66fsb, Pentium 233mmx (depends on right motherboard too to my disgust when I was rebuilding a 600 to Pentium MMX 233 from PII, had to purchase another motherboard), PII 233, 266, 300, 333, 366 and 400. negomagic 2MB GPU. That's 600.
MMC-2 has one white rectangular connector, PII only, 66fsb, 512K or 256K. Neomagic 2.5MB GPU. That's 600E.
MMC-2 has also one white rectangular connector, PIII only, *100fsb* 256K only, starts from 500MHz, 600MHz with speedstep and up to 850MHz if found. Neomagic 4MB, that's *600X*, the last model released. Also it has first ever mini PCI slot for modem or wireless.
Make sure you have right MMC2 PIII module for 600X of yours.
Cheers, thinkpadcollection

I assume I ordered a suitable replacement ..
as seen from the photos I linked to.
Mine has 2 rows of white connectors ..so MMC-1
So I ordered a PII 300mhz 512 and I presume Neomagic 2mb gpu.
I guess what I thought was a 600X is just a 600 afterall.

There are a few more differences to the regular 600 and other 600 models.Vipersan wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 2:36 pmVery useful info ..

1. The original 600 does NOT have any battery connectors on the Ultraslimbay, thus does NOT work with Ultrabay batteries.
2. (Cannot be distinguished from the board itself) The original 600 does NOT have ACPI support whatsoever, APM only.
3. See if you can locate any FRU numbers on the motherboard, that usually does not lie.
Some tips for 600 series (non-X):
1. the official max is 288mb/320mb depending on 32mb/64mb soldered.
However, I found out that 256mb PC100 RAM sticks work just fine (Though for the non-E model one of the slots will only take half of PC100 RAM, but gives no errors)
Thus, the absolute maximum is 416mb or 448mb.
2. If you don't have the ultraslimbay DVD-ROM or you have a broken CD/DVD drive, you can take the frame of the ultraslimbay drive and subsitute in a Ultrabay 2000/Plus CD/DVD drive and it works just fine, though obviously the BIOS is gonna think of a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive as a CD-ROM drive.
