i am assuming no active warranty to leverage? sorry for triple post - on mobile
All good, okay so I think you are totally correct about the thermal paste considering the way he was using it. I just connected a USB mouse and that worked fine. Don't have an external keyboard but I assume that would probably work if the mouse is working. And you're correct about the warranty being expired.
I have never opened up a computer before, do you think it would be doable for me by just by watching videos? I think it's this one
Also unrelated but thought I'd ask, I have been looking at thinkpads and was curious if you think that the one I'm looking at is a decent price. I've been watching it for 2-3 weeks and offered $400 because it has no charger/unknown charge cycles but I got declined. Another hexbear user said they thought it wasn't worth it but I've been searching everywhere and can't seem to find a better deal thinkpad T14s AMD Gen 3
Sorry for being nearly 3 weeks late on responding.
In this video, the first step "Keyboard Assembly and Disassembly" covers the ribbon cables being disconnected/reconnected.
Pricing and value comparison between models has never really been my thing. My gut instinct says to buy a model that is about to be discontinued that has good reviews. Not sure if your partner needs it to do anything specific - if they just browse the web then I wouldn't pay more than $400 and you could probably skate by on a Chromebook for cheaper at that point. If they want a discrete GPU, then prepare to suffer the
price.
