I thought there were lots of clones for the Ultrabay Slim HDD trays but I see they're advertised as "Ultrabay SLIM For Lenovo Y410 Y510P Y510PT Z400 Z500" and the Ultrabay page on Thinkwiki notes: "The IdeaPad Y400/Y500/Y410p/Y510p's Ultrabay is different from the Ultrabays used in ThinkPads." So I guess it's not that easy. Still the original IBM ones will be out there, I got an Ultraboy Plus one for my R31 on Ebay some years ago though I had to wait a while for one to appear. >> Interesting, my Thinkpad R60 with a Core2 CPU also seems to get hot >> fairly easily.

Yeah I made a mess of pulling apart the IBM battery many years ago, so I bought a couple of third-party ones. But they've both pretty much worn out now and I'll have to see if they're any easier to disassemble to replace the cells since I don't think they're making them anymore now either. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
