Has anyone ever attempted this or even been successful at ?
I have an old IBM Thinkpad which has a failed MB and was wondering if its worth replacing, I know its probably easier to buy a new machine but I'm looking to get into IT repair etc (doing CompTIA A+ exams) and was thinking this would be good practice to play about with.
Cheers
Jump to PostHey, good luck - have you looked here?
Its doable but you need to replace it with an identical one
I had an old thinkpad too (a pentium 3 R30) and it had a dead motherboard. Got a cheapass identical one off ebay that had a broken screen and butchered em together to make one working machine
