I am having problems with my system board and want to replace it and the HDD too while I’m at it.
I have an IBM ThinkPad A31p model number 2653-H3U. The laptop is ancient I know, but it ran well up until recently.
I know the OEM is a 60GB IDE HDD, but I’m not real sure about the system board specs.
I’m looking for a excellent balance of cost effectiveness and performance. I’m not really interested in increasing the available HDD space too much. Maybe an 80 or 100GB drive will do.
Another thing I’m trying to determine is will it be worth my time, energy and $$$ to swap these 2 components out, or should I just buy a new laptop?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

5 years ancient ? – Better reckon about a new machine.
I’d stick with Lenovo – same ThinkPad quality, different name.
