here is a picture of my old t61. i turned it on today after a bit of time in storage to find burning smells from the cheep knockoff replacement battery. i tried the voodoo dance of the 10 button presses and the removal of ram only to be met with more silence. goodbye t61, you let out your magic smoke too early
