There are 2 possibilities with T60, different
versions of the System board.
The Easy one just below or another one further
below if your T60 does not match the easy method.
Easy method connection points are just under
the keyboard, refer to Hardware Maintenance Manual Remove Keyboard and also
Palm Rest and or Palm Rest and Fingerprint Reader.
Remove the palm rest, lift up Keyboard and put
it aside backwards while it remains connected, on the left you can see a large
LSI with the connection points for SDA and SCL, GND is connected to one of the
metal clips holding the RAM cards.
NOTE: On some T60 variants
there is a shield over the connection points just under the keyboard - thereby
forcing you - to dismantle it in order to gain access to the connection
points.
If your T60 doesn't look like the images above,
then try the next image, the not so easy method.
note you do NOT remove the fan etc as
has been done in the image above.
Once you have your HMM search the manual for
"Removing and replacing a FRU" then scroll down to 1200
System Board, it's on Page 97 of the manual, follow the
instructions in the manual to remove all the other FRUs to gain access to and
remove the System Board.
You need to access the pads underneath the
intel 82801GBM as illustrated below.
This is not easy, you will need to have the Keyboard and
LCD plugged into the system board in such a way that none touch any contacts
on the system board, use paper as an insulator to keep things from
electrically shorting out, later you will need to plug in the AC adaptor and
switch on the TP while holding 3 probes to the GND SCL and SDA points under
the system board. Do NOT switch ON the T60 now, that will be done LATER.
