My wife has an old thinkpad i1400 type 2611. Does anyone know how to open this laptop? I tried removing all the screws from the bottom (including two under the snap-down feet). I can pop the case open most of the way around the edges, but it seems stuck near the floppy/cd and one of the rear corners. Anyone know the trick to opening this system?
Maybe I should open it through the keyboard or take the display off first, but I don't see any way to do it. Here's why I need to open the case: The AC adapter socket in the system seems to only make intermittent contact. The store wants to charge $600 for a new motherboard, but it seems like I could just glue/solder the connector back to the board so that it makes good contact. Thanks for any info or a pointer to another list where this would be a more appropriate topic. A google search turned up a similar question/response on bsd-nomads, but the info seems to be in japanese. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Texas Instruments [EMAIL PROTECTED]
