Anyone interested in not checked/dead thinkpad 850.
Has battery and cd drive, but no HDD and caddy. Not sure about ram or CPU spec.
As far as modification goes - it has huge heatsink attached underneath, not sure what was the purpose of this, but looks as someone who did this knew what he was doing.
Unfortunately after connecting power, computer does not turn on or make any sound except from starting to spin CD in cd drive (if there is any), battery LED start to blink, some other LEDs are turning green, then turn of except from the last one.
Looks like there is no image on built in LCD or VGA output.
Not sure how much I could ask for this, as it probably will be good only for some parts, so any offers?

Any pictures, any chance of shipping to USA?

e: someone else please pick this up! I can't afford shipping to USA on this bad boy.

Yes and yes, but shipping might be expensive due to weight.

Looks like memory is missing which is why it might not boot.
