I’ve been slowly restoring this IBM ThinkPad A31p to its former glory. I’ve also been doing a few upgrades along the way: (P4 2.4Ghz, mSATA to IDE adapter, Wireless-N card, etc.)

One of the few, final cosmetic touch ups left was to replace the worn out Pentium badge. I managed to source a reproduction badge that looks accurate, so I thought I’d share the before and after.

I think it turned out pretty well!

So, I knew I wanted an A31. But it was ajkula66’s forum posts that really convinced me to look for an A31p. It definitely took some time watching auctions like a hawk to find one, let alone one in decent condition.
