SOLD Thinkpad T43p 15" UXGA IPS chassis with R52 Motherboard

[Eric Giles]

This was a T43p I purchased a few years ago that had a failed motherboard. I swapped in an ATI X300 motherboard from an R52 so that it could be usable again.

Only cosmetic issue that I can see is a scratch less than 3 inches long on the upper lid...which is a shame because the rest of the lid is excellent. There are no cracks in the palmrest/keyboard bezel assembly. Keyboard does show shine on some keys but works well.

Screen looks to be defect free, and is still relatively bright. I would say around a 8 out of 10. The battery will hold a charge, but not for too long...Windows says that it is time to replace it. The Hitachi 40GB hard drive shows no errors using HD Tune, but it just feels a bit 'slow'. This is while running a 'test' install of Windows 7 32bit in the current configuration.

Due to the motherboard swap, device manager shows a 1394 firewire controller, but there isn't a connector available to utilize it.

Price is $50 shipped, or make me an offer. Add $10 for ac adapter if required. Sold to buyers in the US only. Payment will be via Paypal.
