Well, you Could have fixed it by buying another similar thnkpad that was working for parts, then fixing it by swapping the dirty birds stickers.
Great video!!! What I need at 01:36 👍🏻
I stilp use this laptop
Oh man, too bad its in really bad condition. This thing is built like a tank. I still use the same Thinkpad T400 from 2008 with intel core 2 duo. My aunt got it from her old office and she gave it to me. back in 2012. It still works until now with 8GB RAM and SSD. Good enough for daily usage like office and casual browsing for my mom
Good ol China. They get our money we get there rubbish
The r400 thinkpad isn't a bad thinkpad…it's really good
Looks like it came out of a sewage pit you can see the Urine scale built up.
I'd have to say, unless you drop a nuklear warhead upon a thinkpad, pretty much nothing would stop it from working.
Also, I would rather have a dozen screws to loosen, then any glued component.
That new intro 🙂😀
That thumbnail is looking very similar…
I once found two of the same laptops in an electronics recycling bin and one of them was dead and would make the led on the charger blink and the other one turned on once, then started turning on and off really fast by itself while making a screeching sound and then it died too! I tried different chargers and they all had the same outcome, the led on the charger would just blink and the laptops would be completely dead! Yes I made sure to use the right voltage chargers! Still don't know why that happened but it's something to expect when picking up old laptops from e-waste bins.
Maybe the metal underside of the keyboard shorted something out when you turned it off.
This complication remind me of MacBook's, the same number of different screws and brackets
The old reliable IBM Thinkpad on this Lenovo flavor. I’ve been around thinkpads for almost 6 years so far at my workplace and I can say they are very well made…the latest gen, well they already start going south with quality. Those early 2008 until 2017 are built to last. I’m still using a t530 (2013) as my daily. Greetings to Hugh for having this awesome channel.😊
My old work used to use the T430 models. If taken care of and not abused they were solid laptops. Though by about 2020 or so they really showed their age even with maxed out RAM and SSDs the poor dual core CPUs really didn't agree with the heavy W10 installs.
i got the same but without the camera and centrino just core 2 duo
Some of that is the rubberized coating coming off, it starts breaking down over time. You can see it in some of the early shots.
dude don't fix that that viewer of yours is just being such a freak that he sent you this laptop by making a video and fixing it
covered in swamp dust and corrosion
don't fix it
if you can't do it
looks like my soul
Right idea with drilling out the head of that screw! What you have to do, is then step up to the next size drillbit so that you can actually get into the shaft/threaded portion of the screw to weaken its hold onto the case. Going up to the next size drill, bit drilling into the screw and then tugging to see if it loosens if it pops off great if not, go up to the next size drill bit and repeat. Did this before with a Sony VAIO that had a rounded off screw.
At least it did not die alone
I would have really been amazed at the success of this repair.
However it is always a pleasure to see you at work, you always learn something😊👋
Coincidentally i still use this exact same laptop in my office for backups 😂
1 screw for every person on earth 😂😂😂
bruh that poor pc was gone from the start…..and brutally dirty inside ugh….how does one let a pc go this bad? hopefully the parts are still good from it
Hi Hugh Jefferys
Hi , im jeff
Battery error, hmm
Yea that thing is too far gone but it seems that with enough effort and understanding of the meaning of the status LEDs would probably mean that theres a chance for it
cmon you did not even check the HDD or replace it and see if the motherboard is ok
oh my god my grandpa has the same exact model to this day and i am the one who does all the maintanence on it in order to make it functional and the worst part is not even the non working keyboard trackpad or battery but the fact that he needs windows 10 for some of his work programmes and that makes it almost unuseable😢
Centrinos aren't that rate to be never heard off, i have seen plethora of centrino laptops back in the day
Could it maybe be a broken keyboard since the power button is tied to it?
You would have better been with just dumping it
Will you keep the destroyed thinkpad ?
Hello Hugh, I have recently made a YouTube video on a Dell laptop that seemed to have weather damage causing it not to work ( switched On then Off again. It turns out that all it needed was maintenance and a good clean up , to make it work again. So lesson learnt don't leave your Laptop in a unstable temperature area and have you Laptop check more regular. It could save you (£) pounds. I will continue watching your video , hope it works out.
