A Computer you can use in the Shower

This is the most important step. Missing this step will lead to the end of your computer ThinkPad R51 laptop battery. We need to seal this from water. This is where you will use your silicon or hot glue. I personally recomend silicon for many reasons.
1. It is heat resistant and won't melt if put on a heatsink.
2. It is more water resistance.
3. It is more durable.
4. Drys slower, allowing more time to fix mistakes and to put on cover.
5. It is flexable.
Flexability is key when IBM Laptop Battery using around buttons and switches.

Start with the processor. This is the MOST important part of the computer and also the most expensive to replace. Take all heatsinks off and make a sqare around the processor with the silicon. Don't put any silicon on the processor. Just around it. If the heatsink is connected to any other chips or circuitry then put a square around that too. It is probally pretty important. Stick the heatsink back on and allow to dry. If there are any screw holes in the heat sink, replace the screws and fill in with silicon.

Next, take a paper towel and squirt some silicon on it (can't do this step with hot glue). Rub the silicon all over the motherboard. This will protect it a little ThinkPad R50 laptop battery if any water does manage to find its way in.

Now, start reasembling the laptop. Start with the parts in the middle and work your way out. Make sure you seal the piece to the board and put some silicon all around the top of the daughterboard or device. Keep working quickly but carfully as silicon tends to dry.

If your computer has speakers then we need to fix those too. The cone in speakers is sometimes made of paper and will get soggy and will leak water. Take some silicon and put it on your finger (a glove might help). Spread a thin but full coat on the cone of the ThinkPad T43 battery speaker. This shouldn't effect the speaker.

Make sure the whole circuitry and devices (esp. the processor and battery) are completly sealed off. We don't want any leaks.
Now that you have sealed off the computer, you got to seal the case off. Before putting all the circuitry in the case, take some silicon and make a line ThinkPad T42 laptop battery going all the way around the edge of the case. Put a little dot of silicon in each of the screwholes and make sure all holes on the laptop are covered up.

Run a little piece of copper/iron/zinc bar (solid) from the heatsink and out the hole where the fan or heat exchange would normally be. We need to keep your computer cool after all. Make sure there is silicon covering where this bar leaves the computer.

Before putting the circuitry ThinkPad T41 laptop battery in run a line of silicon across the back of the circuitry where the connecters are. Cover up any holes that these could leave.

Place the circuitry down on the silicon you put in the case before. The silicon should fill in the remainder of the space in the computer if done right. If silicon gets in the holes of the connecter, plug a device into the connecter a few times. This only works while the silicon is still wet.

Place some heavy stuff on the laptop, being sure not to crush the hard drive. I used my box of "junk"
In most laptops the keyboard just pops right off the top if a hidden screw is removed. Fill in all of the little holes on the bottom of the keyboard. One way to do ThinkPad T40 laptop battery this is to put a whole bunch of silicon on the bottom and smear it around with a paper towel. Put a line of silicon all the way around the edge on the bottom side of it. Put the keyboard back in its place and screw it down. Fill in the screw hole with silicon.
