No where local, though Sears had a T6. I had to order online. I found a
vendor on Amazon.com (Micro-Tools) that sold them as separate items. Most
places only had sets and those rarely had lower than a T6 or T10.

Where did you find a T1 driver?
I went looking a while back for smaller than the T10 that I had on hand, and
what I ended up with were four of those hexagonal bits that fit into a
magnetic handle/holder, I thiink numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9 (they're not here)
and am still bumping into smaller stuff than what those will handle. But
that was the smallest that the Snap-On guy had available that day on his
truck...

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?
