I just need a confirmation about mobo before I shop from eBay..

Original FRU from my mobo is 42R9964, model number is 9450-HAG
and I need to replace it with a new one.

My question is can I use mobo with FRU 41W1292 ?!

I believe so.

That's likely as close as you'll get to the original one...

Thanks, but where can I check this to be 100% sure?

You can't...but this is what I can tell you:

The board you're looking at was the original one in my Z61m which was spec'd almost the same as yours, but I had WWAN as well...

Product: ThinkPad Z61m 9450-38U [change]
Operating system: All [change]

Original description: T2300E(1.66GHz), 1GB RAM, 100GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 128MB ATI Radeon X1400, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11abg wireless, WWAN, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, IEEE 1394, FPR, Camera, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

The other board that HMM had offered was 42W2168. I ended up replacing mine with 44C3878 and it worked perfectly.

Make sure that the small sub-card that controls the camera is present on the "new" board, though.

Good luck.

Do you have information about 44C3876, is it similar to yours 44C3878 and maybe compatibile with my laptop?

Unfortunately, no info on that one...

It seems that even 41W1292 mobo won't work on my laptop, I got 4 beeps and blank screen on startup,
that's system board according to manual... So what can I else do now?

It's really hard to find mobo with original fru 42R9964, but I think that's the only solution left?!

I'd be willing to bet that the new board is defective.

No reason for it not to work otherwise.

Good luck.

Are you sure that this problem was not related to compatibility between
new board and original parts?

ajkula66 · #10 Post by **ajkula66** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 1:00 pm

I don't see why any of the original parts (presuming that they were working properly) would cause the board to beep.

The only thing that is different is a CPU, but you wouldn't get beeps from it, it would be silent and dead...so I'm sticking with the presumption of a bad board.

Good luck.
