Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
Hi all.
So my second handed thinkpad w500 with the cat smashed lid and too tight hindges finally cracked a little, and now the domino effect have started.
I love this machine and it's not old enough to be retired yet!!!

http://s15.postimage.org/rvil0z5iz/2012 ... _35_59.jpg
I actually tried gluing it with 2 component epoxy, but there was not enough contact space so it could not hold it.
Anyways, I ordered one of these babies, hope I will have it in denmark in a few weeks:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Lenovo-Thin ... 4461256%26
I asume it's all I have to change (beside greasing the hindges) to fix the problem?
Any guide on how to change this [censored]? (I'm rather good a such things, but a guide to how to do it smartest would be awesome)...
REALLY appreciates it guy's

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :(
Hi.
Sadly that wont fix the problem. You need a whole new Magnesium back plate for the LCD, since its that one that is cracked. This problem is very common on W500 units (i have one that had the problem, one i know had this problem, and i have read about it other places)
So the easiest way is probably to swap the whole assembly
Best regards from Denmark

The Hardware Maintenance Manual is the best resource for disassembling the system. You can find one for the W500 here:

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
Tak Andreas, sådan noget lort pg lagkage... Men cool at der er danske thinkpad entusiaster herinde også
Thnx guys, I actually bought the backplate, guess I Will have to try to and buy a magnesium frame then, or try to glue it together, any one WHO have experience with the last?
I love this machine, and would hate to see it die already.

Jeg tilslutter lige danskerfesten så..
Anyways, my W500 makes some rather disturbing 'cracking-noises' when I touch the upper left side of the display bezel, hasn't cracked open yet though. Did you experience similar stuff with yours before it cracked?

You would need one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-IBM-T500-W5 ... 19cbd72978
It will cost approx: 1562.26 kr
However you could also try to look at "Guloggratis" og DBA.. i bougt at whole LCD assembly for 310 kr

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
Hej Cola
Actually, the [censored] that promised my machine would be as new, never told me, that his cat have made a serious attack on it, so it was already caking up when I got it, and it just became a domino effect ...
If I where you I would grease the hindges, not something I know anything about, since no thinkpad I have ever had before have ever needed this, - but I'm for sure in hell going to, so this don't happen again ....
Right now I'm thinking about(looking into) using fiberglass-reinforcement

Well I'm not going to pay that amount ... but if I could get it for 310 that would be my solution ...QWERTY Andreas wrote:You would need one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-IBM-T500-W5 ... 19cbd72978

But I thought more about user 1 on 1 experiences, with etc. the hindge, and magnesium frame problem ...
I have browsed so many threads now, and my head is getting buzzy, but many ppl seams to have this problems
So mainly I'm thinking:
1. if there is something with the hinge (that seams to have locked itself a bit).
2. The magnesium lcd cage: does the one on ebay look good? and are they really that expensive? is there any other solutions, does a lcd rollorcage from an t61 fit etc?
Again, I really apprciates it:
I'm browsing both the pdf and the video guide right now
Thnx again...
A confused and a bit frustrated Helio, who just really want his machine back in order again
EDIT: LCD front bezel (LCD cover kit) - got it (searched to far down the page) I think I'm onto how to disasembly the LCD, and everything in it now ... so the two above questions seams to be it.... darn I hope I can do this :d

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
Hey guys. Old thread, but maybe someone here can help. I've got a T500 with the same problem, except my Part Number, as listed on the lower back of the magnesium frame, is "P/N 42x4794". Everyone else seems to have either "P/N 42x4793" or 43Y9736. Could someone clarify? Would the 42x4793 work?
I do see two different frames listed at NotebookParts.com for two different prices:
http://www.notebookparts.com/lenovo-thi ... f-42x4793/
http://www.notebookparts.com/lenovo-thi ... e-42x4794/
Thanks!

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
Ok, it turns out that when you get the LCD out of there, on the part of the Mg frame that is hidden by the LCD it says "ASMP // N42X4793", wheras on the back, embossed into the Mg, is the 4794 number.
Thought I'd let you know, in case anyone else gets confused!

Re: Broken and cracked lid, new ordered need help :( *PIC
What's confusing is that you are probably comparing the ASM and FRU numbers against each other. They are two different means of identifying one part. In some cases, they differ only by the last digit, whereas, other times they can be completely different. Case in point: I'm staring at two DVD Multi III drives I've taken out of two T420 systems. One, a Sony AD-7710H has an ASM of 75Y5112 and FRU of 75Y5113. The other, an HLDS GT50N, has ASM 75Y5235 and FRU 75Y5115.
