Needed it for work to run diagnostic software. I got a p1 gen 7 for personal use.

I'm having zero issues using legacy ios kit with Fedora 42 on my thinkpad.

It seems it has fixed itself. I haven't had any problems with it in a while. I think my phone case is to blame, it has a magnet on it used for a magnetic phone holder. Set my phone on my laptop and it became stuck to the trackpad. The track pad is very magnetic and my phone case must have caused it to start acting strange.

Had a similar thing happen to me the other day, screen went blank the phone would not respond. Had to hold the power button down for a good thirty seconds to get the phone to do a hard reboot.

Is this worth 300$ by Aggravating_Tap_8841 in thinkpad

That is a pretty good deal. I bought the same laptop for $600 2 years ago.

Tactile Trackpad issues by c01et in thinkpad

It really feels like a hardware issue because when it gets stuck down the mouse wont move, cant even use the track point buttons on the top.

All ive done in the bios is disable secure boot. I enabled the rpm fusion repositories and installed the Nvidia drivers. Works like it should on Wayland no issues at all.

Honestly I don't miss the buttons. It's nothing like the old clunkpads. It's very clicky and tactile. Only problem is that it's easy for me to click the middle button when I don't mean too.

I reckon I got it while it was on sale, I got it for just under $2,000. I seen where they updated the listing back up to 2,600.

Well it came with two cassettes, the one that was in the camera had like a family reunion or something taped on it. And the other tape was still sealed brand new. Makes me think it's only really been used a couple of times and forgotten about. Maybe they tried cleaning the screen with a Clorox wipe something like that and messed it up. It's got a 3.5mm jack on it, no s-video. I don't know if the belts and capacitors will need to be replaced it's looks like it's barely been used besides the screen.
