Trying to revive one of my old laptops because I got nothing better to do.
Of course it's a Thinkpad, X230 to be precise. I used this one ... for roughly the second half of my university time and, if memory serves, likely the computer I have disassembled/reassembled the most & spent the most time doing stupid linux & software stuff.
@Rodsterlings_cig User-replaceable batteries no longer being common (both for laptops and smartphones) is such a loss & it makes me quite sad, both because it just means people are not able to do their own part replacements and because you could just bring a spare battery & quickly swap them over. :blobfoxsad:
@spaceraser Surprisingly the chassis is fine on this one even though it has taken quite some abuse... . Just ignore the green tape that is definitely not holding the two screen chassis parts together.
Good luck with the Dell!
@malte success on my end! Did have to reopen to reseat the keyboard ribbon cable, though thankfully I didn’t have to take off more than the bottom shell.
