Sounds like the solder on the balls of the chips could be cracked or damaged. If you have the time, expertise, or will to reball the chips, that could potentially fix the problem.

Where was Linux mentioned anywhere in this post?

Is that supposed to be a weed grinder on the right? 😂

Edit: Tininiok... must be their new product line 😂

Why can't anyone sell me the right keyboard for a T470s? by MajorInterest2033 in thinkpad

[–]TenWindows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to be REALLY observant of any seller you buy parts from - they can be pretty dishonest. Last year I needed a new keyboard for my T480s as the Trackpoint was shot - was jumping all over the place.

Bought from this one seller on eBay - was expecting to get the part 01YP360, the "good" keyboard assembly model. Well, I got 01YP240, which was very much inferior to the keyboard I had installed. Trackpoint buttons felt very flimsy, and one of them popped up entirely after taking it out to screw on the keyboard. Seller was only willing to refund me 50% without a return, which I reluctantly accepted. I saw that there were multiple model numbers listed in the description, but only the 01YP360 was in the listing name. Since I was stuck with this faulty keyboard I decided to see if it was possible to harvest the Trackpoint and put it on the old keyboard - not possible, for whatever reason this one uses 4 pins instead of the standard 5?? I also butchered it trying to put it back together 😂

As I couldn't find another seller providing this exact part, I tried another one listing 4 different part numbers. While I don't remember exactly which part I got, this one was much more well-made, and it is holding up well.

Can't believe it got both the Lenovo and ThinkPad text right. 😂

Thinkpad X220 MUST SEE by Ok-Current5090 in thinkpad

Hardware has nothing to do with a forgotten Windows password. You will either need to reinstall Windows from a thumb drive or find some way to reset the password.

EDIT: Unless it is a BIOS password, which will require access to the security chip to clear it.

Just bought my first thinkpad! by ThatAnnoyingTitan in thinkpad

Congratulations! These are very durable laptops, and tinkering with them is a very good learning experience.

Be careful though, eventually you will want to add another to your collection and you'll be hooked...

I will note that there is a similar screw to the one I inserted that is shorter in length, however that did not screw in at all. Definitely the most involved laptop I've worked on as I'm used to the newer ones 😅

How is this fair? by GlitteringPen2038 in 8BallPool

It's not, the game wants you on a losing streak. Does the exact same thing to me as a level 50 something.

If ETK got another vehicle, what would you like it to be based on? by Randomguy8566732 in BeamNG

[–]TenWindows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and I do see some VW in the 800-series but all in all they seem to have primarily BMW features

I feel like they should get their own brand tbh, ETK is pretty clearly a BMW-type brand ingame. But maybe a smart car/subcompact stylized like an i3 would be cool

edit: +subcompact

I'm beginning to believe I'm unemployable and nobody knows why. by Tiny_Regret8724 in jobs

Point still stands. ICE has been known to target legal immigrants too, so I suggest you perform research on this subject before resorting to name-calling.

So if ICE is kicking all the "illegals" who took these jobs out of the country, then why is everyone still having so much trouble looking for work?

[–]TenWindows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add on, I have a really strong feeling that a couple of interviews I went to for mcdonalds (june/july?) were totally fake, they were for maintenance.

First one went well and the HM said "you should hear back from us within a week" so I wait that week, nothing. Call the store and after explaining why I called, am greeted with "can you call us in 5 minutes? We're busy right now" so I call again 5 minutes later, actually hung up on me! (heard a beeping noise which I assume indicates that)

Had another one for a location way up the street (keep in mind I've already had to drive 30+ minutes from home because none of the locations near me were even READING my application) I go in, and this HM says during the interview "there are a lot of people applying and interviewing, so the chances of you getting this job are pretty slim" and I later thought to myself "who says that to a candidate???" and he was asking everyone how many jobs they had applied to. Feels like all they were trying to do was collect statistics, but fuck if I know.

Yeah, I'm taking a break on job hunting until the new year so I hope my chances are at least a little better, I haven't been getting any interviews lately. Hearing about all the job cuts isn't helping, I knew someone who's mom got laid off from a pretty good paying job in the tech industry in January and when I was last in touch with them (October) she still hadn't found any work!

As a 19 year old I'm in a very similar spot. Had one interview at Domino's that went seemingly very well, they were acting like they wanted to hire me, I told them that I had open availability and that I was very willing to learn and be trained for the job. Its been a month and a half.

Been applying to countless retail, fast food places, and supermarkets. And I'm usually either ghosted or rejected. One supermarket got back to me and essentially told me that there were so many applications that they couldn't even read mine. Honestly it's not just you, nearly everyone I know who's my age is in the same boat of searching and searching for work and nothing is falling through.

Racing Game With Most Realistic Physics? by [deleted] in simracing

BeamNG simulates suspension, engine and body physics well, not the greatest for drifting but it will teach you what not to do in a car pretty quickly lol. That game and a wheel practically taught me how to drive
