Sorry about this, but I can't seem to find any such docs on IBM's site. I found lots of docs for this machine (TP-600E-2645-4AU) but no instructions as to assembly/disassembly. Nor anything that looked like a service manual. Perhaps I'm missign something obvious.

Or maybe it's in the FAQ? I couldn't access the FAQ either, apparently it requires some proprietary Windoze-only app?
