Is System model #18714AU a T43?

#1 Post by Clumber » Tue Oct 08, 2024 6:36 pm

A friend was gifted an IBM ThinkPad Laptop with Windows XP that had annoying pop-up messages accumulating every 30 seconds. I am trying to fix the issues but gave up after a struggle. I decided to reinstall Win XP from an old OEM CD from one of my previous builds. The install went well. But I forgot to make a copy of the Drivers. :roll: So, now have to search the forum for all appropriate drivers. My problem is that there is no indication on the chassis is telling me what Ethernet and WiFi hardware is used. The CPU is a Intel (K) Pentium M 1.86 Ghz with .98 GB RAM. System Model # 18714AU. Serial #: 18714AUL3BWRM0. I think its a T43 but there is no T43 anywhere on the laptop. I can't tell if the ethernet port is 10/100 or 10/100/1000 GBs. The motherboard is probably Intel. Do I need Intel Chipset drivers as well?

Can someone please list the links to the apropriate drivers.

Much appreciated,
Clumber

Welcome to the Forum.
I suggest you look at the links at the top of each Forum-page.
The Machine Type Model can be found under MTM.

It's a T43 with Intel graphics. You can find the drivers in the Drivers page above.
