Could anyone give me instructions on how to repair this Thinkpad?

Just looking what part I should buy and maybe a quick guide on how I can repair this. The hinge (thankfully) isn’t broken. Any help with this would be appreciated!

Accessed forbidden windows paint after adding 8GB of SODIMM ram to my LOQ 15ARP9

Yall this eBay ram broke my Lenovo, I have 0 idea what’s going on, if someone could help I’d appreciate. If this is normal I’ll just let it do this . Context : I have a LOQ 15ARP9 with 12Gb of ram that came pre attached when I bought the laptop. I wanted to upgrade and found a solid used 8GB of ram (and I promise the stick matches the layout of my laptop so it’s SODIMM and I ensured the new stick I bought matched the speed of my original stick too). After inserting the ram stick in the new slot and rebooting up the machine I wanted to do a check on the new stick and ran windows memory diagnostics. The video above is from said diagnostic running.

Update : Ty everyone for the advice I really do appreciate it and I’m implementing the fixes everyone suggested right now 😋 I can now watch love island with 20GB of ram in peace 🏝️

Reset BIOS password or locate BIOS chip

I have a Ideapad 700-15ISK with 16 GB DDR4, i7-6700HQ, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX950, It boots inside windows without problems but the BIOS is locked.

I alredy tried to:

  • remove CMOS battery and unplugging battery and letting it sit for an hour, plus holding power button
  • tried software like CMOS-deanimator
  • tried to locate some sort of CMOS jumper without luck

I couldn't manage to find datasheets of the motherboard to find the jumper or the BIOS chip,

my last resort would be to reprogram the chip, I am willing to take the risk because i got the PC for free and I want to install Linux on it.

I never did external Bios flashing so i need to buy the tools but before I wanted to ask the community for help:

  • I need to locate the BIOS chip or jumper, if you have experience and can point me to it it would be very appriciated
  • Once located the chip to reprogram I will need to know what are the right tools to reprogram it
  • every info about the model, tutorials, motherboard, best practiceses

If missed some steps or tricks please let me know, thank you everyone

Moments before disaster

I thought it would be a good idea to flash my Thinkpad x220 bios FROM my Thinkpad x220. The new bios chip should be here by this Wednesday

Old Lenovo Rescuer inquiry

I have an old Lenovo Rescuer laptop with Rtx 960m. I use this on my work and light gaming purposes. I can't find any videos on YouTube regarding the disassembly of this laptop. I want to clean the fans and put some thermal paste on the gpu and the cpu.

Is this worth saving?

I’m thinking of buying a bunch of new parts and refurbishing this thing so I can use it as a Linux computer or something, but I’m wondering if I should just get like a t430 or something instead

Ex while high damaged my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 — display and Wi-Fi antennas ripped out. Looking for repair advice.

I had an argument with my ex while she was high. While I was away, she damaged my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (Type 20S1S3B00F)

The display panel is broken, but my bigger concern is that she also ripped out the Wi-Fi antenna cables that run alongside the display assembly.
I connected an external monitor and ran an speed test and the wifi speed has gotten so low that it can't even play a YouTube video without stuttering.

This is my travel laptop, so reliable Wi-Fi is important to me. Has anyone repaired or replaced the antenna assembly on a T14 Gen 1 before?

Do I need to replace the entire display assembly, or can the antennas be replaced separately?

What should I order as a replacement parts?

My grandma broke my laptop, what part should I order? Top cover? Because from what I see- the only parts that broke is connections of Hinges to the body itself

Low budget fix?

The brother of the previous owner sat on it, breaking the hinges holding the screen. It bends 20° solely by air. It works but it’s annoying and the plastic keeps popping off while the hinge works itself INTO the screen if not bent properly. What would you do? 🏂
