My T430 still works in theory but the hinges are broken. I should probably see if I can find a broken one with a functional chassis and do the old swaparoo
Real Lenovo replacement hinges are only $15 shipped if it’s not the screw bosses in the chassis that are broke.
Thanks for the tip! It took a tumble onto pavement from a good height but I think somehow it is only the hinge that’s broken. If I can get a replacement hinge from Lenovo for an at this point over 10 year old laptop I’ll be very impressed. I should check if it has a socketed CPU too in case I can put a quad core in it…
Edit: The cpu is upgradable! I see people putting the 3840QM in it. This may send me down a rabbit hole…
I don’t know if you can get the part from Lenovo. You can look up the uhh fru(?) in the hardware manual.
Don’t get too crazy putting in the biggest chip it can handle, without the additional gpu cooler there isn’t really enough thermal mass in the heat sink to really keep the hot chips frosty.
Plenty of other crap to put in, Bluetooth, ssd, etc.
I actually have the quadro model and ended up disabling the dGPU once I had room to set up my desktop. So it already has the beefier cooler with no extra heat load. It ran really cool and quiet cause of that. I’m not gonna go putting an extreme edition or anything like that in.
That is so cool
I need to do this
