    I need help with opening a 390x ibm thinkpad laptop
    :confused: If anyone has a manual that has the instructions on how to open or as they call it I think disassemble a IBM thinkpad 390x 2626 I would appreciate a copy of just this section please... I have taken the screws out of the back and popped the top but it will not go past halfway it appears to be fused at that point I know its something simple I'm not seeing but scared to force the opening thinking I will mess up delicate parts... Help if you can I tried to download a copy offline but the file is so big it will not open... gheez why do we think we need these things called computers

    Did you try IBM's site?

    Whoops I see you did. Can you post the URL for the manual. Maybe I can d/l and extract the section.

This is the site I got the one that would download and it said it was a rar file and my PC will not open rar files and now I can't find the darn download to delete lol this is not a good day online with my search for help to get my laptop back up and running... http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download.php?fileid=9320 if you can do that for me you are an angel for sure thanks again for your reply and have a blessed day :)

    You need an unrar program. I believe something called "WinRAR" can do this...
