Fun, years ago I bought a T60 and I locked it by accident only to spend the night trying to fix it. I used the same method described here and I actually remember this page http://www.ja.axxs.net/t60_t60p.htm

I had a post on Reddit shit it and people kept finding years later. I would receive a message every once in a while about it, until they stopped completely.

Am I correct in saying that, at least from the photos, this post and the article are shorting different pins?
