Thread Starter 
I need to replace my IBM T40 motherboard. I heard this is a difficult process. Does anybody know of a guide out there that will aid me? Or a video. Or can anybody here walk me through it?

About doing that... Since my GPU is about to come off, I'm planning on popping in a new mobo as well.

Will I encounter serious problems when trying to install a higer model motherboard in what was originally just a T40? I mean a mobo from a T42 or to be more pecific, one with a Radeon 9600 on it.

Will the cooling from the lower model be compatibile with that? If so, will it do its job well enough?

Hey, I really could use some guidence here, if a better mobo will work then I really won't mind a better GPU.

Another thing that I forgot to ask are these wierd special screws that are used in this laptop - provided I'm going to take this baby apart, I will need a new set.

Are they IBM/Lenovo specific or can I get some noname alternative for half the price ? Where should I look for them?
