It is highly possible to use. You could compare the diagrams from the hardware manuals, if they are identical screw placements, size etc...

sloomy, pease keep us posted with your findings. I have a T40 with 1.5Ghz CPU and Radeon 7500 video which I'd like to update with a faster CPU or a new board with better CPU/graphics. I'd be happy with a T42p board with Radeon 9600 and a 1.8-2Ghz 2MB CPU

You certainly should be able to swap motherboards between T40 case and T43p. I'm not sure about LCD though since cases for 14" and 15" are different.

Been there done that. The ThinkPad T40 2373 14.1 lcd Base cover will accept any ThinkPad T42/p 14.1 lcd system board.

My upgrade was:
Thinkpad T42 system board 9600 64 MB Gbit LAN (FRU 27R1990)
Pentium M 745 1800 Mhz 2 MB L2 Dothan
Hynix 512 MB PC2700 SODIMM

:roll:
IBM ThinkPad T42 CTU # Pentium M 1.8 Ghz Dothan # Mobility 9600 64 MB @375/240 # Hynix 1024 MB PC2700 RAM #
Fujitsu 80 GB 5400 RPM # LG CDRW/DVD Combo Drive # Intel Wireless b/g mPCI # TFT 14.1 XGA Display # WinXP Pro SP2 Catalyst 7.7

kyrotech,

thank you for posting your expirience. Could you tell me where did you get the board and what is the FRU?

Thanx!

P.S. Nevermind about the FRU... you already posted it, thank you! I did a search for the FRU you provided and this came up:
