I found an old Thinkpad and I have no clue how to open it. Any clue? I took out all of the back screws already.

You might need to bust out a flathead screwdriver and pry the casing apart at the seam. It's held together with clips. You'll feel like you're gonna break it but you'll be fine. Watch out for ribbon cables if you have plans on getting back together working.

EDIT: there might be hidden screws under the keyboard as well so try to pop that out if it is a separate piece than the top part of the lid.

dem icon matches lol

I'm sure I've got a T40 lying around somewhere.
