Yeah, I’ve talked it over with a friend and (of all people) the school librarian. Here’s my plan:

1. Wait a week and see if the T400 (hostname Amethyst) fixes itself, which is how I managed to resurrect my Acer (hostname LapisLazuli) last year.
2. Transplant the RAM and SSD into LapisLazuli, which should be compatible and will receive a massive performance boost from it.
3. Once I have enough saved up, buy an old ThinkPad to replace it. This will become Amethyst-II, and could be obtained second-hand from my institution.
