Introducción

This guide will teach users how to carefully disassemble the screen of the IBM Thinkpad T60. This will allow users to replace a broken LCD screen or upgrade their current version. Remember to always power down the computer before attempting any installation/removal of any hardware components. Be sure to remove the AC adapter and all cables from the computer. If the computer has been on, wait several minutes before beginning the procedure to ensure all parts have cooled down.
