Does the T43 also have GPU attachment problems?

[SteveS]

I have read quite a bit on the reliability problems with the T4x series – apparently the T40, T41, and T42 models. Do the T43 models also have the issue? I did a search and did not find postings, and I notice that dead T40-42 models show up occasionally on e-bay, which from the description I assume are the PGU bond failure. But I don’t see T43s. Besides using a different GPU IC, did IBM change the design in the T43 to improve the reliability?

Yes, there are no commonly reported GPU dislocation problems with T43 models.
