I've not taken a thinkpad apart for a long time - but my memory of upgrading them is a great one.
Yes, they have the technical manuals easily available - but they had the information embedded in their molds for the parts.
e.g. If you wanted to 'upgrade the memory' you just removed every screw that had a 'memory logo' next to the screw and then wiggled stuff to see what moved. Eventually you'd see a nice empty memory slot.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoYes, that's true. I think the main thing I actually referred to the manual for was the screen (esp. on the X200 where it was a bit trickier; later models are easier). The other bits are more or less intuitive, aided by the icons as you point out.
