thinkpad 385XD - loose spring
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 2:59 am
hi guys
just got 385XD from ebay here.
I removed keyboard to make a minor repair and when I flipped the whole thing,
this spring fell out. For the life of me, i cannot figure out where to put it back.
I followed the disassembly procedure strictly using HMM carefully noted all the parts.
but this loose spring is not mentioned in HMM. I read the whole thing from beginning to end twice
to look for the mention of the part but to no avail...
can anyone help? this spring looks like a hinge of sort, possible goes into power slide plastic that
triggers power switch. but the power switch itself is already spring-loaded...
any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps. I'm surprised that HMM neglected the mention of this crucial part!
