T61p mobo FRU for Frankenpad

[geohsia]

Hi,
After reading all of the posts about upgrading a T60 with a T61p motherboard I've decided to give it a go but I wasn't sure where to find the mobo FRU. I need it to support Penryn and also the NVIDIA Quado 570m. As for the HSF, will any work ?

Aside from that it sounds like it should be a straight forward drop-in except for the fact that I lose the modem and two of the holes don't exactly line up.

Thanks for your help!

My notes say the NVIDIA 4X3 boards that support Penryn are 42W7873 and 42W7873. The replacement numbers are 44C3924 and 44C3926. The first in each pair is a GS boards and the second is a GL (t61p). I cannot guarantee the accuracy, but that is the best info I have

Thanks RichK. This is very useful. I found two HSF units the 42w2820 and 42w2821. It seems the 42w2820 is the one for discreet graphics and the 42w2821 is for integrated.

Do you know where I can find a blow by blow guide (w/ photos) to replace the motherboard? I found one for replacing the HSF but have yet to find the one for the motherboard.
