Looking for a FRU, Hard disk tray.

#1 Post by Nitehawk » Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:47 am

I bought an X40 from an auction that had been used in a corporate environment. When they decomissioned the unit they pulled the hard drive, and kept it or destroyed it, so that whatever information on it would stay private.

I bought it for a low price as a result, but the problem is the whole hard disk assembly is missing. the drive, the bezel, the tray the little drive sits in, and any hardware (screws) used to secure it.

Do you guys know if i can get these parts from lenovo. I called tech support and spoke to a guy that didnt really know.

Try Ebay before. Original parts from IBM/Lenovo are very expensive. And look for FRU in Lenovo site.
