The IBM website has service manuals for all the Thinkpads in
downloadable form. I haven't looked for your model, but since they
seem to have everything, it's certainly worth a look. I don't have the
actual URL either, but you should be able to start here
http://www.ibm.com/support/us/
and find your model.
