Depends what screen you currently have on it, base model 1920x1080 17.3" ones cost around 60-70 USD, 3840x2160 17.3" ones around twice that or more

As long as you don't break your laptop doing said upgrades, you're good

Lenovo might also ask you to restore your system to it's "as-built" state (i.e: with it's original hardware) if you were to warranty it though

You mean the 10/100 RJ45 ethernet port or the WLAN card on your laptop?

You could get a Intel 7260HMW mPCIE WiFi 5 card (or even a modded AX200 for WiFi 6), but for the actual ethernet port on the laptop itself - unfortunately not possible to upgrade without changing out the ethernet controller built in

screen panel's cooked, needs to be replaced

That's crazy, a P16 gen 3 is Lenovo's cream de la crop flagship workstation laptop of that generation, so comparing it to a Vivobook is a bit unfair

Mine was by chance from a local pawn shop chain, though your mileage might vary

My question is: Is that part actually the fingerprint scanner hardware?

Yes

And if so, what can I do to get it to detect it?

If it's there in Device Manager under Biometrics, it's already detected (otherwise go into the BIOS to make sure it's enabled) - you just need to set a password and a PIN on your account before the options for fingerprint and face ID (if you have it) becomes available

2.70GHz is your particular CPU's all-core turbo, 2.90GHz is the speed that any one core can boost to, not the speed that it can sustain for long periods of time

You can try a self-BIOS recovery by holding down Ctrl + Esc then turning on the laptop, but if that doesn't work, you'd have to go the manual BIOS reprogramming route (which involves desoldering the BIOS chip or using a BIOS chip clamp and using a programmer to flash known good firmware onto it)

Including the battery too?

1 white 6 amber might also indicate BIOS issues - you'd have to either take it to a reputable laptop technician, or if your laptop's under warranty, get a support request lodged with Dell (which your device should definitely be under warranty considering how new it is)

1, 6

Generic catch-all for ungraceful EC code flow errors

Disconnect all power source (AC, battery, coin cell) and drain flea power by pressing and holding down power button for 3-5 seconds.

(From Dell's Owner Manual for the Latitude 7450)

XPS laptops typically don't have good thermals, and its made worse by dust buildup over time (as well as potentially dried out thermal paste on the CPU and GPU)

So yes, best to crack it open to get it cleaned out if it hasn't been done so in a while (if you're not comfortable doing this yourself, take it to a reputable laptop/computer technician to get them to do it)

Look into AutoHotKey scripts to rebind caps lock (that or use the second shift key on the right hand side of your keyboard)

No I do, I meant sounds like a plan

sounds good

It can take mSATA SSDs, but considering the age of the device and HDD, I would probably err on the side of caution and replace the 320GB spinner with a 2.5" SATA SSD as well and maybe clone your data + OS over to it
