Re: [Thinkpad] IBM 600X keyboard replacement.

bryan..
you probably exchanged the longer rear screws for some shorter screws..
best to gram a HMM and look at the screw locations..
they'll have a length number (2 to 5 or 6) and a location..

you really don't want a too long screw in a short hole.. :-)
