T400 Internal Wire Placement

#1 Post by ben.dan.coh » Wed Jun 19, 2013 5:17 pm

Hi all!

I recently purchased an old T400 (type 2767-WSX, which, by the way, I can't seem to locate on the Lenovo support page), and I have a fairly basic question. I just opened it up to upgrade the memory, and I was a bit taken aback at the placement of the wires for the speakers, as well as the WiFi. Though the wires emanating from the left speaker seem to be routed correctly (see http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product ... MIGR-71501), the wires emanating from the right speaker wire seem to be just hanging above the frame and aren't routed through anything. In addition, the WiFi wires seem to be hanging above the frame as well, and don't seem to be routed through anything on their way to the wireless card (I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself very well, but unfortunately I don't have access to a camera at the moment). If anybody has the time, is there any way that you could point me to a picture of an open T400 of a like or similar type so that I can see how everything is supposed to look? I searched and searched to no avail (I guess I'm not very good at searching). Thank you so much, and I'm sorry for asking such a silly question.

Thanks again, and take care!

-Ben

Just so happens I opened up my T400 just a couple of days again to replace the system board. But before I went any further, I took a picture of the open computer just in case I forgot how thing were to go back together.

If you'll PM an email address, I'll send you the picture. I used my phone to take the pic...so I'm not sure it will be clear enough to see the wires, but maybe.

The HMM has a quite good description how to route the cables. I would download it and then check page 109.
