    I need to change the cmos battery on an IBM ThinkPad, model 2611-412. How the heck do I open the case? :( I took out all the screws on the bottom and the bottom still won't budge. Someone told me that there may be screws underneath the keyboard that may also be holding it together. I took the plastic piece off, which is towards the top of the keyboard by the screen which was covering the 2 screws which hold the keyboard on. I unscrewed these but the keyboard still won't come off. Please help.

    Look for the service manual on Lenovo's website. It will explain how to do it.
