Hi guys,

So a couple of days ago I some how managed to crack the screen on my T530. I had been thinking about upgrading it and now that its broken I have the perfect opportunity to do so. I was thinking about swapping in the motherboard and cooling system from a W530 in order to get the NVIDIA Quadro K1000M graphics card to go along with my new screen. The only problem is searching "Thinkpad W530 motherboard" doesn't really give results that specify if the motherboards have the K1000M card or not. There are several different part numbers, but I am unsure what the differences between the them are.

Could someone help me find a W530 motherboard with the graphics cars I'm looking for?

the W530 must have either the K1000m or the better K2000m.

check by the part number against the list in here:
