I have the same laptop, with the same dodgy hinges. I've been planning on fixing it myself, but haven't bought any replacement parts yet. Disassembling the laptop is tedious, but not particularly difficult. Lenovo offers a service guide for free download that is helpful. (Search for "T61 hardware maintenance manual".) If you're interested in making a group project out of it, we could get together and repair our respective laptops side-by-side. Perhaps in conjunction with one of the monthly PLUG clinics? Are there any other PLUGgers out there with Thinkpads in disrepair? -- Paul _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
