T43 type 2668-VW5, anyone heard of it?

[Raceboy]

I got a nice SXGA+ Flexview T43 for real cheap because it was not powering on. It was an easy fix: blown F2 fuse. When replaced, all works perfectly and ths T43 is barely used: no shine on keyboard, no scratches on the top of screen, perfect LCD.

I wanted to get some information about this since it is 2668-CTO (but BIOS shows 2668-VW5, manufacture date shows 05/2006, 2668-VW5 is written on the bottom also under the 2668-CTO), but IBM/Lenovo site did not come up with anything. Says it cannot detect my system because "2668-VW5 was not found".

Anybody have any clue what kind of mystery is that?

Most likely a "one-off" small corporate order of some kind.

What country was the machine built in?

If all other features are the same except for the LCD, it could have been swapped and the letters transposed in the BIOS config.

Try going to waranty status look up with the serial number and model and get a build sheet.

It had PM 740, 1 GB RAM, 2915ABG wifi and 6cell Panasonic battery.

It is made in China though.

richk: it is not 2668-WV5, but 2668-VW5
