Thank you. Very good to know and exactly the kind of info I was hoping 
other TP owners would share!

I've replaced the keyboard, added memory, replaced HDs, CD/DVD players 
and fans. The build quality and design for easy maintenance, repair, 
upgrade to get many years of computing enjoyment out of your Thinkpad 
investment is why I've been buying & using them almost exclusively for 2 
decades now. My first TP was for a job as field Network Engineer for a 
Telecom Equip. manufacturer. The use, abuse & neglect they stood up to 
was a strong testament to great design & build quality. I never looked 
at anything else after that. I just never had to replace a screen until 
now.
