Thank you. Unfortunately it didn't help. Otherwise great instructions. Because I wanted to replace the BIOS battery on the 600e ibm think pad to know if there was anything on the laptop at the time. Unfortunately I couldn't get it opened again. And since I didn't want to force it open, I screwed the notebook back together and put it away.
