Definition of the condition of my motherboards:
They are all from a closeout sale from a Lenovo certified service company.
New: Sealed in antistatic bag, with original box.
New(others..): Sealed in antistatic bag, without original box.
Manufacture Refurbished: Used, refurbished, resealed by IBM/Lenovo. Most of them have orange stickers” serviceable used part”.
All three above are what you will receive if you ask Lenovo customer service to replace your motherboard. They all have MAC address labels packed in antistatic bags for you to replace the old label on the bottom of the laptop. All the MBs are sealed; however, I opened one for each FRU/part number to take pictures.
Seller refurbished: MB tested and cleaned by me.
Compatibility of T61 R61 motherboards:
Non wide screen T61 14" and 15", R61 14" share the same mb.
T61 14" wide screen and R61 14" wide screen share the same mb.
T61 15.4" widescreen’s motherboard is only for itself.
Compatibility of T60 R60 R60E motherboards:
T60 14”, T60 15”, R60 14”, these three models’ motherboards replaces each other.
R60 15”, R60E 15”, these two models’ motherboards replaces each other.
R60 14” and R60 15” have different motherboards, which is a little surprising.
T60 15.4 widescreen’s motherboard is only for itself.
Usually, T60’s motherboard has 2 minipcie slots, R60 R60E have 1 minipice slot.
R60E motherboard has no dock connector; some of them have no minipcie slots.
If you have an integrated graphic T6/R6 laptop and want to install a motherboard with dedicated graphic card, a stronger heatsink is needed, like 41W6403 41W6407.
Downgrading graphic card is ok, and upgrading from X1300 to X1400 is ok.
