I had to buy a Torx T1 driver to get the four tiny screws in the front out,
the others came out with a T6 driver that I had. I haven't attempted to
remove the main board yet, but once the screws are out it was pretty simple
to get the keyboard off. Disassembly instructions are included in
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/tpvol2.pdf Hopefully it all
goes back together.

I just took apart a Thinkpad 701c that has a BIOS
password that I am
attempting to clear. There is some powdery residue caked inside the battery
compartment that has leaked into a few areas surrounding it. Is there a
safe way to remove this?
I'd like to know too, as this has happened to my TP701C too.
However, I've heard that they are /fearsome/ beasts to strip. "Motie
engineering" was one description. True?
