Mwelwa;
Don't know for sure on a 560, but I have worked on several Thinkpad
380s
and they have a separate charging circuit board that I have replaced.
I think they call it a system "sub card" or "DC/DC Card"

it cost me around $50 for the part.
  IBM has the best support I've seen online with complete exploded
parts diagrams and discriptions
for most of their computers. The Thinkpad support home is at:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/support?lang=en_US&page=brand&brand=IBM+ThinkPad

  input your thinkpad model # and type # and you can access far more
info than you will need.
here's is a really long link to a 560 system parts diagram that shows
the dc/dc card :
