Z60 you treat as EEPROM Type LSI

Locating the Z60 connection points

Switch the Z60 OFF.

You should have downloaded the hardware Maintenance Manual already, if you have not done so,

Click on the hyperlink below to download the PDF file containing the Z60 Hardware Maintenance Manual, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the manual, Adobe Acrobat is FREE and can be obtained here -> Adobe Downloads once you have downloaded the files, close the browser window to return to this page.

Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad Z60t

Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad Z60m

It is best to Right Click on the link above then Save "Target as" that way you will have a copy of the PDF file on your PC.

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 Z60 now, that will be done LATER.

GND, you can use one of the metal fingers that hold the MEMORY.

See my page on Options for Clips and Probes including making your own probes.

Assembling your TP

You need to re-assemble your TP as you will have to have it switched ON and running to read the eeprom.

Follow the Hardware Maintenance Manual [FRU System Board], very carefully, double check screw type and size for each individual module.  Assemble the TP in the reverse order used to dismantle it.
