We have a few of the 365X's, not the XD's, but I will assume the innards are the roughly same. The 365's take a DIMM and they go in the center towards the rear of the machine, just behind the new 'unremovable' hard drive (grrrrrr....). I did see that mine ran pretty hot. I am also assuming that the XD has a CDRom in it, which will also add to the heating. From what I understand, that plastic sheeting is not only for a heat shield, but it is also a marker for service. You are not supposed to remove the plastic liner, if you do it supposedly invalidates the waranty. Not a bad little machine for the cost, but I would much rather have my modularity than a few bucks in my pocket.

Date: Wednesday, August 14, 1996 5:18PM Hello all-- I have temporary custody of a 365XD and am trying to upgrade the RAM. Documentation points out that the this is under the keyboard--to my surprise there is a plastic sheeting that is glued to the innards of the ThinkPad. The documentation makes a vague reference to this but pretty much ignores it. The plastic is adhered to a number of thin, metal parts which I have done a neat job of bending, folding, *tearing* and I am afraid to continue because I don't want to cause any physical damage to the machine. This plastic seems like insulation. I imagine that since my 755CX (P75) runs hot, this P100 probably generates some heat as well. Anyone seen this configuration, or have any insight? Any help appreciated. TIA. --wwd Will Dunn Leopard Communications Boulder, CO http://www.leopard.com
