Can anyone get me a 4:3 T61 disassembly guide?

I recently disassembled a T61 with a 4:3 display for maintenance. However, when I search up online, all of the guides are for the widescreen ones. Where can I find a guide for the 4:3 variant? Is it the same as the T60?

Thinkpads.com main page > hardware maintenance manuals (in the black bar at the very top) > search for t61, and choose the non-widescreen one.
That said, the instructions for a 14" t60 are almost completely identical. I think the only real differences are that the t61 has two small heatsink brackets while the t60 has one large bracket, and that the t61 has one less screw holding the motherboard to the metal frame.

the lids are different beasts. t60 has a traditional lid while t61 has the rollcage thing going on. but both are a PITA to take apart without breaking something.

Oh right, if you are unfortunate enough to need to disassemble the lid assembly, those are quite different. But everything apart from the lid is pretty much identical to the T60 14".
