I bought ThinkPad535-MF9 at Jun 3rd, 1998 regard to Mr. Hagita-san's support. From then I've used it for over 6years and I felt it fitted me best. TP535 moved normally without any major troubles.
But Someone cut in between TP535 and me. Her name is "ThinkPad560X".
I also got this one of the best masterpices in ThinkPads at "PC-convinience Muraoka". From then, I didn't used ThinkPad535 frequently.
Then, the trouble was occured after the triangler love affair.
Back lights of My ThinkPad535-36J's and my wife's ThinkPad535-MF9's couldn't turn on.
Then a timely offer came to me again. TFT panel assy of ThinkPad535 was on sale at Web shop of "DataPoint" at 4,980yen. It cost more than ThinkPad535 I bought at PC-Muraoka, but I pushed the order botton twice. I resembled the panel of my wife's TP535, and I realized;
"Oh,......there is a problem on this mainboard...."
.....moreever, my TP535 had the same problem.
But I resembled my wife's. The rest of them is here....upper one is "without light tube", middle one is "perhaps normal" lower is "absolutely normal"
That's the story>Mr. Fake-san.
