T61 - keyboard/palm rest screw type/size

#1 Post by grodzio1 » Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:52 am

Hello,
I just recently bought a Thinkpad T61. Unfortunately, it's missing a screw for securing the palm rest and the keyboard, which I assume causes the rattle when typing on the right side of the keyboard. I'd like to ask, is the type/size of that screw specific to ThinkPad, or is it a generic screw that may be found at a hardware store (if so, what's the exact size and/or type of it?) Thanks in advance.

Get the matching T61 manual from the HMM link above.
In there you will find the screw descriptions for every screw on that laptop (and how to take it apart).

But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!
