Mon, 03 Aug 2026 20:16:51 -0700

My laptop's keyboard is broken, and approximately 90% of the keys do not work. I intend to buy a replacement and fix it myself, but I don't see a tutorial for it here. Can you provide a step-by-step guide for opening and repairing the keyboard component?

Thank you in advance.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2: fan spins hard when power button is pressed, then dies

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:17:37 -0700

when the power button is pressed, my T14 gen 2i spins the fan full blast, then it shuts off. it doesn't post or power on anything else besides the fan.

I tried the battery reset button with a pin once 45 secs and worked great for a week give or take, then started doing it again to no avail from the reset button. I tried turning it on by unplugging the battery, doing a power cycle, trying the second usbc port, plus taking out the cmos battery for a reset too, but now it does it despite all the changes.

Gemini says it could be a shortened mosfet, capacitor, and whatever else. does anybody know what I can do? or is it microsoldering?

Thanks

Lenovo ThinkPad E585: Why won't the battery charge?

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 18:01:05 -0700

My E585 wasn't turning on at all. I swapped out the battery, and now it turns on, but the new battery is at 7% (and dropping) and I can't get it to charge further, whether the laptop is on or off. Have confirmed that it won't charge even with a known-good power outlet; I also tried it with the USB-C charger that works for my partner's laptop, and that didn't help (though that could just be incompatibility). How can I figure out what the obstacle to the battery charging is? The only other thing I can think of would be replacing the charger, but I am not optimistic that will work.
