System boards in 15" WS, 14" WS and 14" 4x3 T61p

Hello:
Just wondered if anyone can confirm thst the system boards from the 15" and the two 14" T61p models are the same.  Well, yes, I know they aren't, as the 15" has the 256mb GPU and the 14" have the 128mb GPU.  But the part numbers in the System Service Parts listing appears to include the same part numbers for the 6xxx (15"WS), 7xxx (14"WS) and 8xxx (14" 4x3) series.  (I'm trying to fugure our FRUs for a 14" 4x3 T61p).

  • Time Machine Issue with new system board.

    OK MAC Fans here is an issue that I discovered with Time Machine (TM).
    First I have a 17” MacBookPro that has two 1TB external HDs and a 30” monitor attached to it.
    Something happened to my system and the system board had to be replaced.
    The Mac was sent to TX and a new system board was put in it and the very latest OS (10.5.2) was installed on the hard drive.
    The Apple store added my profile so you think everything would be good?
    Wrong!
    None of my applications made it through.
    But I was thinking let just use Time Machine to restore them. WRONG in a way.
    The first thing I did when I got home was set up TM. I pointed TM to the external HD that has all of the previous backup files and TM wanted to backup the system. During the backup I notice that TM created a new directory for the backup files.
    The name of the directory was the name of my MAC. The old directory was also the name of my MAC but with the new OS software release it was stated that you could not use any special characters when naming your MAC or TM may not recognize your backup files (there is a note on this under support).
    The new name is FirstnameLastnameMacBookPro17 the old name was Firstname Lastname’s MacBookPro 17”. TM created a new directory named FirstnameLastnameMacBookPro17 and this was the only files that are visible in TM.
    I deleted the new directory and renamed my MAC back to the old name and TM created a NEW directory with the old name. Now there were 2 directories with the same “old” name. I can not get TM to use the old directory and display the old backup files.
    I was able to drag and drop the files and applications I needed from the previous backup folders back to where I needed them to be so all is not lost but I can not restore files from TM.
    Also I renamed my MAC back to FirstnameLastnameMacBookPro17 and TM automatically changed the name of the new directory to the new name.
    I tried to drag old backup folders from the old TM directory to the new TM directory but received an error that the files can not be modified.
    The only thing that I can think is that when the system board was replaced TM got confused and did not recognize it as the same system. So now I am starting my backup history all over again. The old backup files are good, the only thing is that I have to drag and drop items I want from those folders to the location I want. I can not use the old backup files in TM.
    Dose any one have a magic pill (red or blue) I can take to make the old files visible in TM?

    I decided not to worry about the syncing my TM. I was just at the Apple store and they have decided to replace my MacBookPro. I am going to start my backups on the new system all over again. I know I can drag and drop files that I want from the old files to the new system if I want and that will be go enough.

  • T30 system board replacement

    I have a T30 type 2366-86U that I believe has a bad system board (plug in the new charger and the only thing that lights up is the battery indicator- plus I can smell the plastic getting hot- pretty sure its the board) The tag says 236-86U. I can get a replacement real cheap off one of those bid sites but its a 2366-FBU. How interchangeable are the boards? I've been through the KB and read the HMM but there isn't any information about the antiques I'm working with! Anyone know if the two boards (or any other 2366 model) will fit in the machine? Thanks

    The board from FBU is actually a better one, type II which supports CPUs over 2.0 Ghz. Go for it.
    Good luck.

  • What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?cc=us

    What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?
    How would one go about arranging for such service?
    Why is it impossible to contact a real human for support, either via online chat or phone? 

    Last I checked I am a real human, it is just that I do not work for HP and can't speak for them. HP would not be the place I would go for a "refurbish" job. They charge an arm and a leg for out of warranty service. You simply need to find someone to replace the system board (motherboard). It is also very likely on that model that you could have your system board repaired. There are many services on ebay that will repair the motherboard at the component level. The cost would be at or under $100 or so. I have more advice to give but many times I write a detailed response only to have the user never come back. I do check my posts so if you want more ideas just please respond. The tx2-1000 was one of the models affected by the nVidia issue that caused so many HP laptops made in the 2007-2009 era to fail prematurely. 

  • Sparc 20, hostid and system boards

    I have a Sparc 20 that was being used as a license server. The SCSI controller on the system board does not recognise disk drives anymore. I am trying to persuade Engineering to re-license the software for another machine/hostid, but I know they are going to balk. My questions:
    1) Does anyone sell Sparc 20 system boards? I poked around on a couple of sites with no luck.
    2) Can the chip that holds the hostid on a Sparc 20 be moved to an Ultra 5 or an Ultra 250 without letting the smoke out? I don't have any other pre-Ultra Sparc machines left that are not in service.
    Email is a good way of getting in touch with me, and since I do not know if these forums have had a problem with email address scraping, and I can't remember how I set this account up, here is my email address with some precautions. My first name is doug, follow that with a period, then my last name, caviness. I work for JDSU, and we are a .com.
    Of course if everyone says it can't be done, then that helps the re-licensing case. Provided the software vendor is still in business.

    Hello Doug,
    <i>I am trying to persuade Engineering to re-license the software for another machine/hostid, but I know they are going to balk. My questions:
    1) Does anyone sell Sparc 20 system boards? I poked around on a couple of sites with no luck.</i>
    A company that sells memory <b>still</b> lists (refurbished, 90-day warranty) SPARCstation 20 system boards as a spare part (about $ 30 plus shipping). Have you tried eBay ?
    Usually a license is bound to a class of machine (regarding performance) <u>and</u> the HOSTID.
    In your case the machine is used as a license server and not running the application itself.
    <i>2) Can the chip that holds the hostid on a Sparc 20 be moved to an Ultra 5 or an Ultra 250 without letting the smoke out? I don't have any other pre-Ultra Sparc machines left that are not in service.</i>
    The SPARCstation 20 uses a 48T18 chip, while the U5/E250 uses a 48T59 chip. Both types have 28 pins and are 8Kx8, but I don't think these types are interchangable (the 48T59 has 70ns access time while the 48T18 has "only" 150ns).
    But you can try to reprogram the HOSTID in the Ultra system.
    As Martin already mentioned the U5/E250 have a machine-type 8x (usually 80) while the SPARCstation 20 has 72. The machine-type is part of the HOSTID. Maybe the system uses this information to select the correct kernel.
    I would recommend that you apply for a new license. The battery in the NVRAM has "Consumption Life" of about 10 years and getting a <b>new</b> chip of this type might be tough in the future (maybe already today).
    Due to a bug in the forums software, notification of replies doesn't work (anymore). If you don't return to the forum, you will never know that you got answers ....

  • Almost 1 month and still no system board replacement

    Has anyone else had any probelms getting a replacement system board for a T420S?  I have been waiting for a tech to come out on a three week old laptop to replace a bad system board and still am awaiting a backordered part.

    duplicitis,
    Sorry to hear that you are delayed on parts. Calkenneth is offering fair advice -  If you purchased from Lenovo directly in the US, and the failure is within the first 21 days you could get the system replaced as a DOA.  Call your sales rep and you will need to provide the service case number.
    We can also escalate your service case.  Would you send me a PM with your contact info and service case number?
    Will try to move this along for you.
    Thanks for speaking up,

  • MORE THAN 26 DAYS AND COUNTING TO CHANGE A SYSTEM BOARD. Got the parts, GOT laptop.

    I have been trying to get my laptop to be fixed through my EasyServ Warranty.
    The first time I called and started the process was June 6th, 2008. It took them until June 18th, 2008 to return my laptop, but They put in it the WRONG SYSTEM BOARD. Can you believe that THE WRONG SYSTEM BOARD.
    In June 18th, 2008 I called to report that. They send me another box to return the laptop to them so they could fix THEIR mistake.
    Now, I have been trying to figure out what is going on with my laptop, but every time I call 1-800-887-7435 I get deferent status, It depends on the person who answers the phone. Some of them said "They are working on the machine", and anothers say " It is on hold for parts and we can not tell for how long".
    I recalled the technical support to see if they could do anything about, but they said THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. Basically I am in my own.
    I use my laptop for work, and before this I had the best experience with technical support. It seems like they just do not give a s**** about customers satisfactions.
    MORE THAN26DAYS AND COUNTING TO CHANGE A SYSTEM BOARD.

    Lenovo have to call their customer number too, and the Solectron people like to put them on hold. Only when a Lenovo Executive gets involved like Mark_Lenovo can any problem with Solectron get resolved, as normal worker wouldn't have special contact numbers within the Solectron's management. So Lenovo call center workers get as frustrated as you if not more, as they hear complaints after complaints about them been thick and incompetent regarding depot repairs, when there is nothing more they can do, but obviously customers don't know the full story.

  • How can you brand a serial number onto the system board?

    I just replaced a system board and need to brand it with the appropriate serial number.  How do I accomplish that?  I have software to run when I do that with Dells or Lenovos.  How can I do it with an HP?

    Hi:
    You cannot tattoo a HP notebook. It has to be done by an authorized HP tech service center where they have a DMI tool for that which is not available to the public.
    You can tattoo some HP business desktops with this software, link below. It might work on HP consumer desktops but I don't know since I have never tried it on one.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
    This program makes a bootable floppy disk, and cannot be installed via any other method than a FDD or USB FDD.
    It works on many other HP business desktops other than those listed. It has been used successfully in PC's up to a couple years old.

  • Z77A-GD65 power issue/bad system board?

    Looking for advice. I am afraid its a bad board, but some symptoms point at power which also makes no sense.
    This is what the WHOLE system should look like.
    MSI Z77A-GD65 system board
    Intel 3770K 3.5Ghz
    Anted Kuhler H20 620
    G.Skills RipJaws 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL (on the test list)
    Asus nVidia GTX 680 video card
    OCX Vertex 3 256MB SSD
    Seagate 500GB data drive
    Razer Lycosa Keyboard
    Razer DeathAdder Mouse
    Antec Sonata IV case with Neo ECO 620W power supply
    It seems to me that 620W should be more than enough. According to my calculations thats roughly 330W of power draw against a 620W powersupply.
    I am not currently over clocking.
    So what the system does look like is:
    If I connect the 500GB drive then windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
    If I place all four sticks of RAM in the system windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
    If I leave the 500GB standard sata drive off and only use 3 sticks of RAM... well we get a solid system and I am writing this message on it.
    3 sticks of ram appear to work in any 3 slots and allow the system to boot, except 1,3,4. That combo also resulted in the reboots at the windows logo.
    I first thought it was RAM, originally I was using Corsair Vengeance. I saw some posts here about people having the same problem, and noted that the Corsiar RAM was not tested and switch to a the tested G.Skill instead.
    Any ideas? It does not completely seem like a System board issue, but it certainly should not be power. All heat levels are well within normal and as I said the system works great if I leave off the drive and one stick of RAM.
    Thanks guys....

    System torn down, and put back together. (Found out I was out of Thrermal Compound, so I had to run to the store to get some.)
    No long leads, only 9 stand offs matching each mount point on the systemboard.
    Back together... problem is the exact same.
    However, back to the hard drive issue. I decided to play with that since I was getting no where with 4 sticks of RAM.
    What I have discovered is that with NO sata cable connecting the drive to the system board, if I try to power the two 250GB standard sata drives the system reboots just as the Windows logo should come up.
    The fact that this behavior is so close to the RAM behavior... I am back to thinking its a power issue, though system board is still a chance... its just easier to buy a new better power supply than the Antec Neo Power 620 that came with the case. (I have not ever had a problem with Antec before, and will likely just buy one of their higher end power supplies to replace it, but I think I will try it next, just in case.)
    I am not seeing any strange behavior power wise as far as any monitor shows... but connecting power to a sata drive that is NOT connected with a sata cable and causing a reboot just screams power at me.
    Anymore thoughts today. In the mean time off to play Secret World with just the SSD and two sticks of RAM, which still runs rock solid.

  • Replaced system board? How to restore system serial number with a CD.

    I have an l412 with a defective system board- would not POST. So I replaced the system board (it's a year out of warranty) and booted up, only to be met with an error code about a sytem serial number mismatch. Boots OK, but system update does not work (because of the serial number mismatch).
    The instructions for WHAT to do about this are in the online service manual http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/60y3635_02.pdf
    When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
    If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.
     You need the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette to do this. This floppy disk is only available to certified Lenovo service centers. Or those who know how to use google. Versions 1.75, 1.76 and 1.83 are the ones I have used. If you can't find them, you probably should not be trying this anyway.
    You read that correctly- DISKETTE. As in floppy disk. How many laptops have one of these? Now you see the problem.
    The real trick is HOW to do this- without a USB floppy drive. If you have one of these, stop, you don't need to know this.
    For the rest of us.... 
    First, find a computer with a floppy drive. Any computer.
    Extract/install the HMD archive onto it. Follow the instructions in the file to make an HMD floppy disk.
    Use this program http://www.boodaa.de/index.php/download-mainmenu-31/bootdisk2bootstick-mainmenu-44 to make an image of the floppy. Be sure to save it as a .img type, not .bin
    Use this program http://paulski.com/zpages.php?id=1814 to create a bootable CD image using the floppy .img file you just made.
    Burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it. 
    At least on my L412, it works!

    you can only download the trial version unless you purchased from adobe and there's a link under your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

  • IPhone5 bad system board

    Yesterday my i5 was at 40% and i decided to plug it in which i noticed it wasnt charging so i rebooted the phone but it wouldnt power back on. I did a handful of hard resets and finally got the screen to show the 'plug in to charge' icon. Im thinking it was at 40% how can it be dead. I plugged it in and wouldnt charge. Tried several cables that worked on the ipad and still wouldnt work with the i5. So i took it in to a local phone repair which they stuck a new battery in and the phone booted but would not charge. They replaced the charge port and still wouldnt charge so they deemed it unrepairable and something wrong with the system board. This phone was bought in Oct 2012 so its about 1.5 yr old. Will apple fix this? whats the procedure on this since its out of warranty?

    If the place that repaired the phone was Apple authorized:
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:

  • T420 Wearing System Board Insulation in Battery Compartment

    From many insertions and removals of batteries, the insulation on the system board of my T420 has begun to wear under the battery (you can see it under the alignment tongue in the following photo).  The wear is a bit more pronounced than visible in the photo.
    Questions:
    a)Is there anything of significance under the insulation (any circuit board components or traces)?  Why is the insulation there?
    b)If I finally wear through the insulation, are there any special electrical properties where I just can't patch it with clear laminating material (non-conductive) or something like this?
    c)Does Lenovo sell this insulation as a spare part (I doubt it)?  (And even so, I'd hate to tear the computer apart to replace it--this would take me a good 8 hours.)
    d)Anything else I should know?
    Thanks, Dave Ashley

    A follow-up on this:
    I spoke to Apple Australia who said it was not uncommon, even though AppleCare (in India) had said it was not something they had heard of and that I should speak to Customer Relations.
    The repair person at the second Apple Store then advised me that the logic board serial no on some machines is in fact the factory's serial no, not Apple's, and therefore it is normal. There is confusion, though, since many newer machines have eg iBooks have Apple's serial no under the key pad.

  • IMac G5 not starting up after system board install

    Six caps blew on my old system board so I ordered a new one and installed it. The system started up great and was running perfectly. However, after the 3rd or 4th reboot, there is no longer anything on the display. I can hear the power click on and after a few seconds, the fans usually start to sing.
    I have reset the SMU several times. I have taken the cover off and checked that LED #1 is on when I plug in the power cord. When I push the internal power button, LED #2 comes on and stays lit. Still there is no display.
    Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I might check next or what might be going on?
    I feel like maybe I didn't get everything plugged in securely when installing the system board, but it was working initially. Any ideas?

    It is quite possible that your replaced board is faulty, or that the caps on the power supply have now gone bad. Check every cap in the machine and see what you find.
