    • A screw holds the motherboard tray to the outer bottom casing, remove this.

    • Because the ports protrude into the outer casing, gently wedge a knife between the ports and casing to pry the motherboard tray out.

    • Prying of the bezel will require some force and may break a few clips. It is also glued to the metallic LCD edge, making it even harder to remove.

    • Be very careful with your prying tool/knife to not over insert and scratch the LCD panel. One scratch and the value is gone!

    • Remove the rubber stickers covering the display bezel screws, and remove all of these screws.

    • Remove the visible screws holding down the LCD panel frame and the inverter and bluetooth circuit boards located below the LCD. The metal assembly will come out from the plastic backing.

    • The LCD housing is attached to the plastic back panel on the 4 corners, including on the hinges. Remove these screws.

    • Now would be a good time to protect your screen with bubble wrap or foam bordered by tape. Green X is for visibility and warning.

    • The LCD panel is attached to the housing on 3 corners by screws, and these in turn are mounted on the edge of the LCD panel by 2 screws each.

    • Also undo the screw on the edge of the housing, near the left hinge, and the screen should freely come out from the assembly.

Hi, I have the same problem in my Thinkpad T61. I think the problem is the charger. I use an universal charger with the same voltage (20V) but different amperage. Today I bought online a 20v - 4,5A charger. I hope to resolve this problem.
