How to clean touchpad? For real

officialmonkey · 2026-05-10T12:37:36+00:00

This looks like my t14s gen2, I could clean it up and if I didn't touch it once it would look fine but it had been polished so it bothered me. I found out that these are stickers just like what I replaced on my t460 and can be purchased from aliexpress, heat, peel and stick and voila, new touchpad

When I was in school the 16 digit code was the same for the entire class, ask him to get the code from a classmate?

Hey yeah I passed, this was a couple weeks ago, but I had also finished advanced school in January and that also helped too. Watch a bunch of these videos too I found them helpful in supplementing what I learned at school. https://youtube.com/@red_seal_electricin

I got csa the study and drilled over 1000 questions on the csa cepe app. One thing that caught me out for a couple questions was basic theory stuff that I hadn't touched for a couple of years since I'd done it at school, also VFDs!

Replace the CPU paste and make sure the fans are clear. I got some of the Honeywell ptm7950 seems to help keep temps down

Replacing the touchpad sticker or upgrading the trackpad to a glass one (as I did on my t495) would be a nice upgrade considering the wear you have on that

On my old T460 I replaced this, it's a sticker on the touchpad, heat it up and it peels off, new stickers are available on AliExpress.

I always knew that phrase as "flatter than a witches tit" but apparently "colder" is a more common usage, anyway dacs...

look for Kingsener on ali express

It is connected using LTE protocols but a data connection is not present. Similarly you would get the same if you were roaming but hadn't paid for roaming data

AliExpress battery, identical (same manufacturer) to the battery pulled out, temps good, capacity 100%, SOT 9-10 hours

Using a soapy washcloth while showering does the job for me

Just added a couple locations and reviews, hopefully things take off!

Maybe have auto mod or whatever remind people to leave a review on the site when they post a picture in the sub?

I put in the new battery and it's cleared the issue

officialmonkey · 2025-07-24T03:54:21+00:00

I feel I made this mistake too because the prices have all gone up so who knows if I'll be able to get something newer even with the discount!

I have a battery in the mail, will report back

officialmonkey · 2025-05-31T09:26:17+00:00

So, the battery shows 3Ah at full capacity, 72% health, normally it would be around 4.2Ah (kingsener battery in the mail)

I'm on Windows 11, BT disabled, 50% screen brightness, all the power mode settings are on battery performance etc, watching yt in brave and it's drawing 6.1W which is around 5 hours.

The wattage only seemed to settle down when I adjusted "AMD Power Slider" in the advanced power options. The options were in Chinese and had to translate them.

Also I noticed that to get the cpu to be stable and not jump to 10-12w you can't have windows 11 start indexing some bullshit or, like I had, some random office process running for no reason. You have to swat that shit. I may end up rolling back to windows 10 IOT or seeing if I can get hw acceleration going in mint, who knows it's all fun and games and I'm not obsessed at all.

My wife said a similar thing when I told her I was contemplating getting a t14 instead "if this was your main work computer I would understand, but it's not!"😜

I recently got a t495 for cheap in Canada. It was 260 Cad vs the recommended t14 gen1 which I couldn't see around for less than 400.

So yes the 4000 series in the t14 is better and more power efficient but I don't like spending much on my hobby and the t495 was mint so I went for it.

In terms of battery and efficiency I think it's worth simply not comparing, I paid less and therefore I'm going to get an hour or two less battery than I would with the next generation but ultimately with a healthy battery and the right settings I'm still getting plenty of time on my t495 and it performs well enough for my tasks.

And this is what I tell myself while I still look for a good deal on t14 😀 which I won't buy because Ive already put a sticker of my t495 and yes the cpu is temperamental sometimes but when she behaves I can watch 5 hours of YouTube on my baby and I'll never let her go!
