你所需要的

  1. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Screw Sizes: 步骤 1 中的图像 1,1
    • Screw sizes in this guide are given in millimeters. This is the length of the threads alone, not the head.

    • Actual screws are slightly shorter than the nominal length.

    • All the machine screws are M2.5 Phillips head unless otherwise noted.

  2. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LED Indicator Cover: 步骤 2 中的图像 1,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LED Indicator Cover: 步骤 2 中的图像 2,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LED Indicator Cover: 步骤 2 中的图像 3,3
    • Open the laptop screen almost all the way.

    • Set the laptop on its side.

    • Using a spudger, unhook the LED cover's plastic tabs on the back of the laptop base.

    • The plastic is quite brittle and fragile. Be careful not to crack the tabs.

    • From the front of the laptop, pivot the LED indicator cover towards the keyboard and unhook the tabs on this side.

  3. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinge Covers: 步骤 3 中的图像 1,2 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinge Covers: 步骤 3 中的图像 2,2
    • Remove the hinge covers on each end of the laptop using a guitar pick and a spudger tool.

    • There are three plastic latches you are trying to release. They are circled in red.

    • You may need to adjust the spudger and guitar pick position to release all the latches.

    • Repeat for the hinge cover on the opposite side.

    • The hinge covers are not interchangeable. The bevel on the front faces the keyboard.

  4. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinge Screws: 步骤 4 中的图像 1,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinge Screws: 步骤 4 中的图像 2,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinge Screws: 步骤 4 中的图像 3,3
    • Gently close the laptop. Use guitar picks or something to prop the front of the screen so the two latches don't engage.

    • The hinges are stiff enough to crack the plastic! You may need to push on and support the rear of the laptop while closing it to prevent the hinges from cracking the rear plastics.

    • Using your fingernail or a spudger, remove the two screw covers from the top.

    • Remove the four 3mm screws on the rear surface of the laptop securing the LCD hinge.

    • Remove the two 5mm screws holding the top of the hinge to the base of the laptop.

    • When reassembling the laptop, put the longer screws in before the shorter screws.

    • Using a T6 Torx driver, remove the four 5mm screws formerly covered by the plugs and disks.

    • Flip the panel over face down, then lift up the back cover on the hinge side.

    • Slide the back cover forward to clear the lid latch hooks in the two front corners.

    • The cover should lift right off.

  9. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Flex Cables: 步骤 9 中的图像 1,2 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Flex Cables: 步骤 9 中的图像 2,2
    • Remove the long flex cable (red box)

    • Note the exact orientation--the horizontal metal stripe (see the green box) is offset and must be reinstalled exactly the same way

    • Be careful with the flex connector latches which are quite fragile. Slide them parallel to the cable using a fingernail or a guitar pick.

    • Remove the two 90 degree flex cables (orange boxes), again being sure to record their exact orientation and location.

    • During reinstallation of the 90 degree cables, it is easier to install them in the top and bottom circuit boards first.

    • Disconnect the flex cable on the far right (blue box).

    • Remove the four 12mm screws in each corner of the panel (red circles)

    • Prop the corner of the frame up with a guitar pick and unhook the data cable, flipping it up on top of the frame.

    • Repeat for the LCD backlight power cable.

    • Lift the frame stiffener up and off the LCD panel.

  11. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LCD Backlight and LCD Driver Boards: 步骤 11 中的图像 1,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LCD Backlight and LCD Driver Boards: 步骤 11 中的图像 2,3 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LCD Backlight and LCD Driver Boards: 步骤 11 中的图像 3,3
    • Remove the four 6mm self-tapping screws securing both circuit boards.

    • Lift up and remove the LCD driver board (right).

    • Unplug the two small flex cables from the backlight board, being sure to properly unlatch the connectors first.

    • Flip the backlight power board over to the left, exposing the CCFL high voltage wires.

    • Disconnect the two CCFL high voltage wires.

    • The CCFL connectors can be challenging to remove. Try using a spudger to pry the connector+tiny board upwards while using your finger to pull sideways on the connector to disengage the latching tabs.

    • When replacing the backlight power board, be sure the two slider potentiometers engage with the plastic sliders on the front of the case.

  12. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, CCFL Board Capacitors: 步骤 12 中的图像 1,1
    • While you have the CCFL board out, you will likely want to replace the leaky electrolytic capacitors.

    • C1: 220uF 35V radial leaded electrolytic, 10mm tall, 10.1mm dia. lead spacing 5mm. Mouser p/n: 581-REF1009221M035K

    • C2: 4.7uF 25V radial leaded electrolytic, 5.7mm tall, 4.1mm dia lead spacing 2mm. Mouser p/n: 667-ECE-A1EKS4R7I

    • C3: 33uF 6.3V radial leaded electrolytic, 5.7mm tall, 5.1mm dia lead spacing 2.5mm. Mouser p/n: 667-ECE-A1CKS330

  13. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LCD Driver Board Capacitors: 步骤 13 中的图像 1,1
    • Likewise, the LCD driver board typically needs capacitors replaced.

    • C1, C2: 22uF 35V SMD electrolytic 5.6mm tall, 6.25mm dia. Mouser p/n 667-EEE-HB1V220P

    • C3, C4: 47uF 25V SMD electrolytic 6.4mm tall, 8mm dia. Mouser p/n 667-EEE-HB1E470AP

    • C5: 100uF 16V SMD electrolytic 6.4mm tall, 8mm dia. Mouser p/n 667-EEE-HBE101UAP

    • Electrolyte leakage from the old capacitors may also damage the trimmer resistors. Both original parts are Panasonic EVM1U which is no longer available. You may be able to bodge wire modern trimmers.

    • R1: 20K ohm, typically set with the upper resistance at 6K and the lower resistance at 14K (metal cup side up, 3 leads to the right, 1 lead to the left.) Probably safe to replace them with individual resistors.

    • R2: 500 ohms set to the halfway point (250 ohms from center to each side)

    • Capacitor electrolyte is mildly acidic and can eat through traces and vias. Neutralize with baking soda and wash the board thoroughly before putting new parts in place. Check continuity of traces and vias in case you need to make more repairs.

  14. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinges: 步骤 14 中的图像 1,2 IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, Hinges: 步骤 14 中的图像 2,2
    • Take out the two 8mm screws fastening the hinges in place.

    • Remove the hinges. They are not identical so keep track of which is which.

    • Quick hinge stiffness fix:

    • Place the hinge in a vice but do not tighten it down.

    • Rest the hinge on the bottom sheet metal without gripping the metal pin. The locking washer should be facing upwards.

    • Tap the top of the metal pin with a hammer to loosen up the hinge action.

    • If you loosen the hinge too much, take it out of the vice and place it on top of the vice. put a small hex driver over the top and tap it with a hammer to drive the locking washer back down.

  15. IBM Thinkpad 700C Disassembly, LCD backlight (optional): 步骤 15 中的图像 1,1
    • Lift the plastic CCFL and diffuser assembly straight up and away. The upper and lower driver boards will need to be flex back and out of the way.

    • Do not allow the driver boards to slap back into the bare LCD panel as you remove the diffuser assembly.

    • Be clean--any dust or debris stuck to the LCD may show up on the front side.

    • Never clean an LCD panel with isopropyl alcohol as this may cause or aggravate "vinegar syndrome." Use distilled water or glass cleaner and a lint-free Kim wipe.
