T60 dead - mobo compatibility?

Hi...
well, it happened. Sombody dropped a glass of wine on my T60, and it is dead. No power, no LED, no nothing.
I can handle some work by myself and in fact enjoy it, so I downloaded a manual and pick it apart, mainly to know which mobo model was in the thing, and if i can find one on e-bay.
Well, my mobo was of the 42T0116 variety, and there are plenty on e-bay. (E-Bay listing)
My question is:
apart from this number [42T0116], should I know anything else to avoir compatibility problem? I'm seeing different TYPES listed (1953-CT0, 1953DAU and others)...
I guess the LCD screen dimensions is important (14 inches here)... or not?
Thks for your help...

Yes, it will work.
Not all the FRU numbers are listed in the HMM. This holds true for most models, and quite a few parts - including motherboards - that get added or improved during the model's life cycle.
Good luck.

  • Does detergent can fix dead mobo...??!!

    i don't know it was joke or not but i read that detergent can fix dead mobo... have anybody ever heard that..??! 

     From a thread at Tom's Hardware regarding someone that sprayed his CPU HSF full of WD40 and got it into the CPU socket:
     "Try soaking your PC in a bathtub full of water+ laundry detergent to break down the WD40 and degrease it off.
    OK...not really, that was a joke. "
     Beats me where you would get such an idea re: the detergent.

  • Thinkpad T60 Dead

    When i switch on the laptop all indications are gone.laptop is in dead condition. before touch the power button i got the ac power indication in the laptop.While i am trying to touch the power button all are gone .laptop is in dead.
    can anyone tell me the solution for this.
    With regards,
    kannan.k

    Let's try this old trick:
    Remove the battery, hard and media drives. Unplug the AC adapter.
    Press the "power" button ten times in a row holding it down for ten seconds each time and thirty seconds the last time around.
    Plug the adapter - but nothing else - back in and try to power on.
    Good luck.

  • [875P Neo FIS2R] Dead Mobo or dead CPU?

    I've got the Neo FIS2R (PCB 1.0) version with a nothwood 2.8C CPU and all of a sudden, a couple of days ago my system stopped working.
    When I press the power button the fans work just for an instant and then everything stops...
     One thing I've noticed though is that, either with or without the cpu on the board, when the 4-pin 12V connector is not connected, I can power up the system and I got 4 green leds on the D-bracket. Once I connect the 12V again, I cant power up my system
    I've tried with a different PSU and with all the cards, drives etc disconnected and I get the same results.
    If anyone has any idea, if it is the CPU or the mobo that is dead, please, please tell me 

    Hi Maesus thanks for your input.
    The problem is that i dont have access to another S478 board, if I did things would be much simpler indeed...
    By the way another thing that came into my mind, is that I have 1GB RAM (2x512MB dual channel at "fast" setting in the bios) and I had overclocked the CPU from [email protected] by increasing the FSB @ 215MHz. I had also increased the core voltage of the CPU @ more than 1.6V. The AGP and PCI buses were left at default speeds but the AGP voltage was increased a little as in some games I overclocked the video card as well from inside the windows.
    The past couple of weeks or so, I had all kinds of BSODs (from STOP 0x0000007f errors to IRQL_NOT_LESS...) out of the blue quite frequently, either when running specific applications or completely randomly.
    I am mentioning the above, because I've read in other forums that it is a frequent phenomenon for Northwood CPUs to die when increasing the core voltage above a level (SNDS) and one of the symptoms indicating that the CPU is dying is frequent BSODs a few weeks before they die.
    In fact, before my system died, I had a BSOD and after that the computer shut down and couldnt be turned on again (I saw the BSOD when I was sleeping...but not in my dreams  and the next morning the system was dead. I have disabled the auto-restart after a BSOD in the windows).
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • ThermalTake Hardcano and CPU Fan. MoBo Compatibility

    Will the Hardcano work in conjunction with MSI 865 PE CPU fan features? I see several people here have the TT case and was wondering. The CPU fan is a stock fan without a speed sensor so I'm assuming that I can use the Hardcano speed control without interferring with any elements concerning any MSI MoBo functions. Does anyone have an opiion about this? Thanks.

    I have the hardcano working controlling the cabinet fans and do not have the CPU fan connected up.    Call me cautious but the stock CPU and heatsink, even when O/C'd, does not get very hot.     For me the issue is keeping the HDD's cool.

  • Absolutely Dead Mobo

    Hey
    recently had an issue with my motherboard turning off
    weird little issues
    now it wont load
    at all
    it starts up
    and does teh checking NVRam stuff
    and locks at that
    clearing the CMOS results in it being alright, but it cant find the os since its set on a IDE RAID setting, so as soon as i get into bios, change it and reboot the system locks at the checking NV Ram, whats NVRAM and does this mean the mobo is gone?
    ta

    ok i dont think you guys understand
    when i turn on the machine
    and you know that stage how it goes through the ram and adds up the total etc
    i.e BEFORE it says to press delete to get into bios etc
    it locks there
    i.e. nothing happens
    i.e. start up your machine
    the VERY first line of text you have before it starts saying what stuff is plugged in etc
    locks there
    i.e. i cant even get into the bios
    thats what i mean
    if i use the jumper then i have to go into bios
    but as soon as i tell it to save something to the bios and reboot, it dies on me
    understand better now? i.e. i CANT actually change bios without using the jumpers, but as soon as i save settings in bios so it can start up it locks before i can get into bios
    the led lights for the usb in the back those 4 lights are stuff at the diagnoal red, i believe thats the initialising stage

  • Punkbuster Mobo Compatibility?

    there's obviously a problem with the nForce3/ATI/punkbuster combo. i see that the problems are not with just MSI, but also gigabyte and chaintech.
    my question is whether anyone has heard of the same issues with the epox brand nforce3 mobo. i've done lots of searches on this and other forms as well as google but can't find a single person reporting this problem with an epox (is there an epox forum i haven't found?). so i'm just asking in case i decided to switch, which i haven't yet. or would a VIA mobo switch be a better bet altogether?
    k.m.

    what up, i got the same motherboard as you and im in the same pickle as you.
    I am trying to upgrade my CPU to the Phenom but having problems getting it to work. i got the same motherboard as you (m2n68-la narra3) AND i also have the AMD PHENOM II x4 960t black edition. I know the Phenom II IS compatible with the m2n68-la narra3. Also i know for a fact that the AMD Phenom II x4 960t DOES work on the m2n68-la narra3.  we both just need to get the right BIOS to make it work... or am i missing something. I have Googled, bios-mod searched up and Down the sites but can not find the right bios. Can someone Please help us out.

  • T60, dead bios and exceeded warranty

    Hi,
    I encountered some unfortunate problems during the automatic bios update on my T60 and now it's nothing but a paperweight. As I was looking forward to using this baby with my school work later this fall, I'd like to ask you fellows whether I have any options here. I have exceeded the warranty, so I would like to know if anyone happens to know how much does fixing this sort of an issue cost?
    Edit: No, I can not use any media to boot any sort of an application. The only thing I get is the quiet humming of the machine.. No HDD activity.

    you would need a new motherboard. You can get one from ebay (which are stripped from old machines) for around 100 to 250 dollars, depending on spec and condition.

  • T60 dead

    I have a laptop ibm thinkpad t60, one day I'm going to turn it on, and you no longer see anything on the screen. The screen is black, and the LEDs below the screen are all off, but it feels that the hdd spins as well as the processor fan. (I always use under current and battery, and note that under the current light of the "plug" that indicates precisely which is under current is switched off).
    Then I remove the pad and turned to the Rams, I remove the two 512mb ram modules from the backup battery and detachment even the keyboard. in short, do various tests until the PC side and emits beeps that indicate no ram, then get back modules and the pc starts normally. Now after a few weeks the thing was repeated, I disassembled and reattached everything but the PC does not turn on. I also tried with the battery but nothing.
    What can it be? motherboard?

    Given that the LEDs are out along with the LCD itself, it leads me to believe that one of the following - or a combination thereof - has failed:
    a) Inverter
    b) LCD cable
    c) A fuse on the motherboard.
    I'd try replacing the inverter first and see whether that yields an improvement.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • T60 Frankenpad motherboard compatibility?

    Hi all
    Seems like my loyal friend 15" T60 has died :-(
    This had made me looking for a replacement board and after seing a lot of guys in here making Frankenpads with a T61 board in a T60 chassis, I have been wondering what boards are actually able to fit in a 15" T60 ?
    Is it only the T61 14" 4:3 boards that will fit in ? Or is it also possible to fit in the boards from a T61 14" widescreen model ?
    Thinkpad T500 - C2D P9500 - 8GB RAM - Intel X4500 - 120 GB Intel 330 SSD,
    Thinkpad T61 - C2D T9300 - 4GB RAM - NVS 140M - 120 GB Samsung 840 SSD,
    Thinkpad T60 - T2400 - 3GB RAM - GMA950 - 60 GB Samsung 840,
    And a lot more....

  • [875P Neo Series] Dead mobo or dying ??

    -Motherboard type and model (MSI 875P NEO-FISR)
    -Bios type and revision (Latest)
    -CPU type and model (3,2 P4 HT)
    -Memory name, model and quantity (2 x Kingston KVR400X72C3A/512)
    -Video card name and model plus drivers and version (ATI AX800 PRO)
    -Power Supply name, model and the amp rating for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V lines plus any limitation on the +3.3/+5V combined watts. This information can be found on a sticker on the side of the supply. (Q-TEQ ATX 350, 3.3V = 20A, 5V = 0,5A + 35A, 12V = 0,5A + 17A, 5VSB = 2A)

    -Optical Drives: Manufacturer and type and which IDE ports they are located on: (NONE)
    -Operating system and service pack level: XP SP2
    the short version:
    the mobo went unstable and started hanging when playing 3D aplications like medal of honour, wolfenstein ET and others...
    then the hangs started occuring more rapidly, and now the pc starts VERY randomly
    i often have to try to start it 10-15 times before it starts....
    the chipset and cpu fan starts, the hd drives starts and the ROM starts, but no signal to vga card.
    i have tried to reset chmos, changed vga card, stripped the pc, but nothing works..
    and: it has worked for over 7 months without any probs...
    is it possible a virus did this ??
    can anybody help ???
    please ???

    350 watts is far to low for your system............
    Min AMPS on +12V rail for your system should 24AMPS
    Q-Tec do not have good rep and have caused at lot of problems
    Try a brand name 450+Watt PSU Enermax or Antec or Hiper series (These I have personally tested)

  • MSI 645 Ultra Dead Mobo

    First a little background...
      Bought a new MSI 645 Ultra (version 1.0) about 4 months ago.  Installation of the new mobo, new memory, new video card, and new CPU went just fine.  
      It's been running very stable for the past 4 months, but two days ago I rebooted (warm) and the machine wouldn't even POST!  Hard drive and CD-ROM power up but I don't even get to the BIOS...
      I didn't change anything.  CPU is not overclocked.  I haven't added any hardware since the day I put it together.  I haven't tried flashing the BIOS.  I just rebooted and I get an Early Chipset Initialization error on the D-Bracket.
    Things checked so far...
      I have verified that the memory is still good.
      I have verified that the hard drive is still good.
      I have verified that the video card is still good.
    Things NOT checked so far...
      I have NOT verified that the CPU is still good.
    Things attempted to fix the problem so far:
      I have pulled the memory and booted without it... no change
      I have cleared the CMOS, no change: procedure follows:
        Unplugged power cable,
        Pressed power switch several times,
        Set jumper to "clear" position
        Removed CMOS battery for 2 hours,
        Re-installed CMOS battery,
        Put jumper back to original position,
        Plugged power cable back into computer.
      I have reseated the memory... no change
      I have reseated the video card... no change
      I have unplugged hard drive, cdrom, and floopy from the mobo... no change
      I have taken out the modem... no change
    System configuration:
      Intel P4 1.7GHz CPU
      MSI 645 Ultra version 1.0 mobo
      512MB DDR333 (1 stick)
      nVidia GeForce3 128MB video card
      3.5 floopy drive
      Western Digital 40GB IDE hard drive
      32 speed CDROM
      56K modem
    Is there something that you guys can recommend to fix this problem!?
    Did my bios somehow fry itself when I rebooted? Remember: I'm not getting to the bios at all... no POST... no nothing...!    ?(
    Thanks

    Hey dude, try this first. I had 2 648 Max's today. Neither of them would boot. Cpu's good, memory good. PSUs good. Dude, I was pulling my hair out, argh......
    Then what I did was removed all the pin connectors for the Power Switch, Hard Drive LED, Reset SW. I left the speaker connected. I cleared the CMOS. Took a small screw driver and jumped the two power pins. And walla! The thing started up and was able to get into the BIOS.
    Man, I ate a scooby snack and did a little more investigating and low and behold it was a bad Reset Switch that prevented it from booting.
    This is almost the exact sme sysmptoms your talking about. A similar one I had about two months ago was a bad power switch. It was just arely making contact not allowing the board to start, but all the fans etc... would work.
    So add this to your trouble shooting and maybe this will work.

  • Conflicting info on Pentium D 930 cpu-P6N SLI Platinum mobo compatability

    I have seen conflicting information on the compatibility of the Pentium D 930 CPU and the P6N SLi Platinum motherboard (MS-7350 Ver. 1). On MSI's website I have searched for this motherboard and then gone to the compatible CPUs. Several Pentium D models are supported, however 930 is not among them. In searching on this site I have spotted at least one user who seems to have used these two together successfully.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116011.msg872815
    it appears that this user was using the bios update version 1.5 originally and then upgraded to 1.6. Both appeared to work for him.
    I was hoping to find out if anybody else has an opinion as to the suitability of this combination? From the physical evidence, it would appear that this works. Is this perhaps just a situation where MSI didn't bother to update their CPU compatibility list as bios versions evolved?

    Well, seems some Presler cpus are supported so it could work. So far I don't see any technical reason why it shouldn't. None the less there is no official support since it is not mentioned in the cpu support chart. Either it will work with no problem or not boot at all. You can do no harm to it trying. If it works the post screen could show unkown processor because of lacking support but if you get that far everything will work fine.
    With the other user having it work there should be no problem. Just try it as I guess you have an old 930 lying around (you don't want to buy such an old cpu or do you?).

  • Solved: Dead mobo :(

    My computer won't boot at all....
    I just turned it off regularly, and just now I pushed the power button -> nothing
    I disconnected the connector, tried a screwdriver -> nothing
    I took of power (lan lights went off) turned it on again, shorted the power connector -> nothing
    Last thing I remembered I might have done was turning on the wake on keyboard option with the specific key option set, I never tried it afterwards, and this was the first time the computer was switched off....
    Any idea on what to do???
    HELP PLEASE  ;(

    ok, I figured it out, like 5 minutes after the last post  
    I think of myself as an intelligent guy so I said to myself "you can do this logically, what options are left?"
    So I discovered some stupid things in my behaviour:
    -I did do set some 'innocent' bios settings
    -I had unneeded devices connected, they can affect the entire thing
    so I didn't set the 'disable on board audio' and after this it worked normally. I ineed just set this value together with the first suspect setting  
    So I found out what it was, just letting you know for future refference  :D
