Welcome to TSF!

Having taken a few ThinkPads apart in my time (fun fun!!) I can attest to the joys of taking them apart and building working setup.

Best thing is to take the largest working pieces and put them, together. Good LCD from one and good mainboard from another. Mix and match mix and match. You CAN take out the flourescent bulb but it's tough... Working with whole pieces is much easier.
