Thanks for the links,
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

Hiho,
this is somewhat offtopic,
but I need to find someone with a working Thinkpad R51 who is willing
to screw it open and tell me the number that is on a certain chip.
My R51 died a while ago, due to seemingly just this one chip having
burnt out, so I would like to try and replace it.
These may help Marije:

From its size, I think I can solder it by hand.
Please contact me offlist if you happen to have an R51, so that I can
send you a picture to indicate which chip I need the number of.
sincerely,
