FS: Rare IBM Thinkpad S30
FS: Rare IBM Thinkpad S30
Hi Everyone
I've got a rare Japanese IBM Thinkpad S30 for sale. It's in full working order. I'm after £400.
Rough spec is as follows:
Pentium 3 600Mhz
Matt black lid
128Mb RAM
Japanese specification keyboard.
Windows XP
The LCD is good, no vinegar syndrome and unlikely to ever have it but it does have 3 x 1 pixel wide horizontal lines on the screen. Replacement screens are £150 and it really didn't seem worth it to me.
Tested, working, with a UK PSU.
Battery included but unknown condition. LIkely almost or actually dead, but intact.
Will have been inspected to prove no corrosive battery installed and no horrible corrosion inside either.
Just as an FYI, the only real difference I can find between the S30 and the S31 is that the S31 was offered with a larger hard drive and has a small aluminium shield held down by 1 screw under the keyboard.
Can do photos, just not today!

I still have an S30 for sale if anyone ever is looking for. These were like hen's teeth up until about 12 months ago!

Re: FS: Rare IBM Thinkpad S30
I have another one I can bring out of storage if interested, PM me.
Re: FS: Rare IBM Thinkpad S30
If anyone is interested - this S30 is for sale. It's practically perfect - new LCD, piano gloss lid, Windows 2000, 256Mb RAM upgrade, nice condition.
CMOS battery needs replacing. Main battery is included but charge state unknown.
