T40 Mainboard pictures

#1 Post by donald88 » Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:37 am

Dear T4X experts,

I have a T40 Thinkpad with the standard problem of a frozen screen. I have reflew the mainboard but unfortunately I have forgotten to remove the holding clamp with the plastic foil at the underside of mainboard right below the CPU socket. The plastic foil displaced and removed some of the SMD devices. Can somebody send me some high resolution picutes of this area (removed holding clamp and plastic foil)?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
You should forget about getting that mobo to ever run again. It's as dead as a dodo, and will not revive!
Look for an R51 mobo with Intel GPU, that's your best bet.

OK. Thanks for your hint. I know that the chance is poor to repair it. But at least I want to try. It costs nothing (just time). So I would like to get the high res photos anyway (bottom side)!
Does the R51 MB fit in the T40 housing???
What is the difference of the R51?
