I need to replace the motherboard on a IBM T40 laptop. I have heard that this is a difficult process. Does anybody know of a guide online with pictures of a video that might help guide me through this process?

Its not really that hard, so long as you can find a motherboard that fits your tower, you are pretty much good to go, however a new motherboard requires (Least to my knowledge) you to really re-install everything, and starting over from scratch. Least I believe (80% sure) your hard drive that has Windows wont recognize your new processor and motherboard.

Anyways, What kinda tower you got? If you can tell me that, I could find you a Pretty decient motherboard that fits.

Also it would be helpful to see how much you are willing to spend.

Oh yeah, and to place a motherboard inside a tower, all you need to do is just put in the screws in the right places. Towers are bullshit and are only needed to cover up the shit. I have a friend who had a Fragbox Motherboard and used his NES as a Tower. Worked quite well and was a good modification.

Yeah, but he has a laptop, not a tower. Much harder.

Yeah sometimes google fails when it comes to a search you are looking for. Thats why I try using words differently to get a better result.

Anyways, congrats on your new laptop.
