[LAU] Offtopic: need some help from someone with a Thinkpad R51

[nescivi]

the problem is that I cannot find any datasheet of the motherboard.
And the problem with blownup chips is, that you can't read the number anymore...

But I found someone via the linux-thinkpad emaillist who has an R51
and is willing to look inside.

sincerely,
Marije
