Where the #### is the clock battery on IBM T43 Thinkpad
Where the #### is the clock battery on IBM T43 Thinkpad.
I bought a battery and was told it was under the keyboard. I have removed the keyboard, hard drive, cd drive, memory, and main battery. I dont see it. Where the #### is it? It's a nickle sized yellow disk with wires, but I cant find it. |

There are two links to hardware maintenance manuals here. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/deta...cID=MIGR-58315 I downloaded one of them, and the battery is a sleeved type, located dead center while viewing the system from the keyboard side. It's in roughly the same area, as the back end of the optical drive. The sleeved battery fits into a curved holder, with a clip (arm) over top of it. Paul |

It's a nickle sized yellow disk with wires, but I cant find it. Thanks to both of you guys I was able to find it and replace it. It was under the palm rest, which comes off after the keyboard. 13 screws total. You'd think they could make this easier to replace! Particularly when those screws are so tiny that I had to buy magnifying glasses to see them, and work on my bed in case I dropped one. (easier to find on the bed sheet than on the floor). Either way, the job is done till next time it goes dead. Thanks again!!!! |

These companies don't give a hoot how easy it is to maintain their device. I'm surprised the screws were a Phillips head instead of a Torx drive when few people have those screwdrivers. I wanted to change the headlight bulb on my car and it took removing 20 screws and half the front end to get to it. To change a bulb ??? This may sound pessimistic but I consider it realistic : Everything is a piece of garbage, it is just a matter of how bad. If you think it is good, it isn't ; it just sucks less than everything else ! Anyway, glad you got it done.

Look mom, no tools needed !!! MB |

Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:12:06 -0600 Organization: Aioe.org NNTP Server Lines: 12 Message-ID: so it looks to me like you are probably wrong. The "OP" Vanguard is referring to, is from "richard2 @ none.com". The post was made 24 Mar 2012. It's unlikely richard2 is sitting at his keyboard, still waiting for an answer. Only one of the regulars would still be at their keyboard. http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi...0%404ax.com%3E casey.o is not the OP of the thread. richard2 is. I can see the entire thread (the headers), because Thunderbird does not remove the old headers. As long as I was pulling articles the entire time, I can see all the articles for the group. I can see stuff back to Jan 2009 right now (just the headers, not the message bodies). Using the howardknight site, I can look up a post from 2009, using the MID. You can find the MID value, by looking at the header of the message sent by ". That's how I got the pointer to the item stored on howardknight. My Eternal-September server doesn't go back two years, but as long as Thunderbird remembers the MID value, I can find the originating article. As shown in that example. Google Groups used to support "search by MID", but I think the search page is not very useful any more. It might have been this page, with search by MID on it, but the page is redirected now, to a useless page. So it's howardknight to the rescue, instead. http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=& HowardKnight truncates messages to around 2KB or so, as a means to prevent movie piracy by saving multi-part uploads people put on binary groups. This means HowardKnight is no longer a "verbatim" archive, with respect to things we search for by MID. If the message you look up, happens to be a long one, the end of the message could go missing. Apparently the server code is not smart enough to just smack things with particular encodings. Truncating was a quick fix for them, to avoid excessive web searches and traffic. Paul |
