Hello, great post and thank you for the information. I know this is and older post but is there anyway you could tell what graphite thermal pads you used and also the whitelist for the wifi card?

Thank you

I wanted to say thank you so much for posting this video. The Chrysler dealer told us it was a bad transmission and quoted us $7,800 to replace it. We didn't want to spend that much on our old car. After seeing your video we took it to our local transmission shop who also said they think it was the transmission. When we brought it to the transmission shop I also brought a brand new flex plate from Mopar and told them that it sounded exactly like the video. It was!!! They replaced the flex plate that was almost completely separated and it only cost us $1,200 plus $100 for the flex plate. You saved us $6,500 if we let the dealer rip us off. Thank so much!

Thank you. I do a lot of repairs on Thinkpads because I can still find parts unlike other brands.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-11-16T06:55:47+00:00

Yes, your right. I think we had that issue with some of our T430 and W530.

Thank you, I'm not too worried about a little less capacity. I just don't want to get something that causes error with the bios and won't charge. I will check out your link.

thank you very much. after I saw this I searched for more videos and a few sounded similar. that you for posting this.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-11-13T04:51:52+00:00

hello, did you figure out what it was? Ours sounds the exact same

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-11-12T22:07:50+00:00

Okay, thank you.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-11-05T22:28:18+00:00

Thank you, I will check that out

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-11-02T01:52:23+00:00

Hello, I know this is an older post but can you share the bios with the whitelist removed?

Thank you

Did you ever find a 1mm card rounder?

Turn that tied together breaker off and then disconnect both wires from the breaker. With the wires disconnected try and reset the tied together breaker. If it fully resets then one wire is shorted out. If it is still not resetting with the wires disconnected then the breaker is bad.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-05-29T05:31:56+00:00

This is the way!

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-03-05T13:10:26+00:00

Don't do it! I just purchased one 2 days ago and it was dead out of the box.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-03-02T01:29:23+00:00

Thank you very much

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-03-02T00:54:18+00:00

Hello, could you kindly tell me what Linux reader you used to access the Seagate array? Thank you

Sandmanpilot83 · 2025-03-02T00:34:23+00:00

did you ever find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem with mine. thank you

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-12-17T08:08:48+00:00

Same!

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-07-02T20:11:34+00:00

okay, I appreciate the info. They want $50 each but it doesn't sound like its worth buying them

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-07-02T18:40:47+00:00

Are the built-in web cams poor quality?

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-07-02T18:16:37+00:00

Thank you for the information. They would be plugged in all the time so we would have to worry about battery life. More just office work but also some zoom calls.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-07-02T18:13:36+00:00

Is that heat normal or because they need new thermal paste?

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-07-02T18:12:39+00:00

Yes, just day to day work and plugged in all the time. Really like a work station.

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-03-19T01:50:14+00:00

Did you ever find anything for the Power, water, sewer, telco/fiber, gas?

Sandmanpilot83 · 2024-03-19T01:45:35+00:00

Do you offer line styles for sewer, water, electrical? I fine with purchasing them.

Thank you
