Folks, this is not an invitation to discuss sources for PC laptop parts 
on the list. K asked for help finding a list like this for ThinkPad users.

IBM also has great tech support on their website-they have complete
technical manuals with painfully exact, step-by-step take apart instructions
for each model ThinkPad.  I had a bad connection to my TP 570 screen and
fixed it.  Couldn't have done it (or wouldn't have been brave enough)
without the manual.  Drop me a line if you need help finding yours.

Apologies up front...In addition to my trusty Pismo emac & Performa 5200 I
have an IBM Thinkpad 560 that has a slightly ruined LCD screen...I am
looking
to get a replacement for the screen  on ebay...Is anyone on the list aware
of
how hard it is to try to replace it on a DIY basis rather than taking it to
a
shop ..also does anyone know of a help list for pc laptops?
Thanks in advance,
Mike Kochkodin..

When a friend of mine cracked the bezel on his girlfriends Thinkpad, I 
went on ebay and looked for replacements, seems like there's a good 
number of parts for those laptops on ebay on a regular basis.
