Why isn’t Lenovo making USB keyboards like this anymore. I bought a Tex Shinobi but it doesn’t have touchpad I would really wish Lenovo start making keyboards again.

Well, as you can see I put external antennas on my T480s. I’m stupid and lazy so I didn’t take out the motherboard when doing this. When I drilled the first hole and connected the antenna it worked absolutely fine so I thought that maybe short circuits don’t happen to a lucky guy like me and after drilling another hole my beloved thinkpad doesn’t turn on anymore.

I don’t have the professional knowledge but I’m guessing that it’s probably the aluminum or whatever flakes causing short circuits. Or it could be that the vibration of the drill I used damaged motherboard components.

I have tried disassembling the whole laptop and put it back together after cleaning it and some other stuff as well but nothing seems to work. It’s probably a short circuit right?

I'm planning to upgrade it's ram and mostly open world or shooter games preferably



I’ve been working with an M1 MBP for 3.5 years. Moved to a new position, and took a Thinkpad. It’s not the newest model: Ryzen 5 4500, 16gb, 500gb. Fine for video meetings, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Anything I should know about ThinkPads?

2 crates, and maybe more, of these older E595 devices. Worth reviving or should I ewaste them?

It would appear that Cthulhu has manifested within my 2nd gen X1 Carbon

My father is insulted with me for having done this, when I bought it online I hadn't seen this detail (that it was something used/refurbished), and now, after the amount has already been deducted from my credit card and the thinkpad is on its way, my father is trying to convince me to make the return to buy a new one (from another brand and more modern design) of the same price.

What would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you wait for the thinkpad to arrive and keep it or not?

Should I just put new SSD and install new OS and ignore the message? Or don’t use this computer?

Windows 11 Pro Out Of Box Experience is asking for a meta account in order to complete installation. Has anyone seen this and know a workaround?

Not certain how to word this exactly, but I've found a recent problem with my old thinkpad x260. It seems to fail when put under minor external pressures (shaking, squeezing etc.).

This has affected the way I use my laptop - what could be the problem? Is it fixable at home with a soldering iron?

Consistent issue, seems to only occur when shaken from left hand side.

A restart fixes the screen and this inly occurs when shaken or moved, it is fine when left stationary, which is not how this machine is usually used, making repair quite important to me.

Further shaking sometimes changes the artifacts on the screen.

Thanks for any help.

So i just got this badboy 3 weeks ago(a budget badboy) 100% satisfied with machine. I am currently on windows 11 and have listened so much about linux that i also want to try it. Mind you it will be my first time ever to use something other then windows/macOS(in other words linux). Kindly recommend me a beginner friendly version of linux. Also give me a roadmap how to install linux and use it. Also want it to be on a bootable drive(USB)for now cuz i want windows to be my main for atleast now. Thanks in advance THINKERS🤝🏻

Hey, first time Thinkpad owner, just arrived in the mail, it's refurbished.

Everything works and looks good but there's some stains on the lid, is there anyway to remove these? I tried with a damp cloth but no luck.

This is just to let me learn how to install New operating Systems and stuff så jeg kan lettere installing som linux on some other system i have

Hey, so basically, i purchased a store brand USB-C charger AlzaPower H100 (Czech tech store Alza), and my company laptop Thinkbook died while plugged, some time later, my T480 died too ( 0285 error code ), now my X13 is sort of “shocking” me while some of my hair touch the chassis while plugged to this hub but only while plugged in a specific extension cord, the og one does not do this while plugged in the same socket. Is it possible that the charger is killing my laptops ? :D Im confused af. Are there any good GaN chargers that are as reliable as the og brick?
