Flip the laptop over and check the bottom for the model number.

If it's IBM, you can autodetect it here:

ThinkPad 2603-XXX where XXX is the unknown sub-model. Are you looking for parts or drivers?

So you cannot turn it on?

If you can here's another autodetect link (general this time)

I guess not working then.

Are there any other numbers on it?
Actually can you please supply a photo?

Go to the manufacturer's web site and see if you can look it up under the serial number. I used to work Dell and they use Service Tags (like a serial number) and it connects you to EVERYTHING!!

Best,

If the records still exist!

Okey almcneil(Andy) and kimsland, i went to lenovo forum and show
some pictures i showed here. They told me its the IBM 500s or so.
I thank you both for your help. I'm not workin' on this laptop yet, 'til i'm done
with my Latitude C800Infact, I had it upgraded to XP. I got it from ebay
for cheap, I got the idea on this site, so i got more GB on it too!
Thank you much and more power on this site!

Sincerely,
Joy
