My IBM ThinkPad R51 looks quite stable, however two weeks
ago while cleaning the display I broke the pin off, which
causes the display to go out, if you close the lid.

I wasn't using any force, as I wouldn't like the display
to be scratched. The pin was just glued and I guess the
"heat" (below 30°C) was too much.

Bloody misconstruction.

My IBM call was routed to Glasgow, I don't care, as long
as they help. I would have preferred to get a new pin sent,
but now I have to send the whole laptop in.

I don't get a replacement notebook, perhaps I would if
I had a business laptop.

If you buy on the internet, you have two weeks to test,
afterwards you can send the notebook back without costs
(provided you buy in Germany).

I think this is better than using Freesbie in the local shop.
