T420S Hard drive caddy part number

#1 Post by balapavan » Thu Oct 04, 2012 11:54 am

I hope someone could shed some light on this. I've purchased a T420S refurbished, which came with no hard drive, but an 80gb mSata drive.
Due to the lack of a hard drive, lenovo shipped the laptop without even the hard drive caddy.
I have reached out to Lenovo tech support and they have been helpful, but couldnt figure out the part number for the 'hard drive tray' (or caddy) itrself. So far, they have sent me a screw kit, the rubber rails, an SSD spacer etc, but not the hard drive caddy itself! what a waste of over night shipping.
Does anyone know the hard drive caddy part number? or the part number in which it might ship?
Much appreciated.
Thanks!

There is not a part number for the caddy. Lenovo sells the hard drives as an assembly with the caddy already attached. You will probably have to get it from a parts supplier on ebay and have it ship from China.
