Une réparation que je repoussais depuis un certain temps : un #IBM #thinkpad 365XD de 1996 (#Pentium 120, 16Mo de RAM) qui n'avait plus de backlight.
Au final le démontage n'était pas si compliqué et la panne était simplement un fusible grillé sur le circuit du backlight. Comme il y avait de la place j'ai mis un polyfuse (en gros ce que j'avais sous la main !) et ça fonctionne très bien.
Reste à remonter tout ça !

So nach vier Jahren hat der Akku in meinem #Thinkpad L14 Gen1 einen Alterungszustand von 55% erreicht. Der muss als langsam echt mal gewechselt werden.
Sollte man einen original Akku nehmen oder gibt es auch gute Third Party Akkus?

Hat da jemand erfahrungen mit?

I'm not sure what happened, but ever since updating my #swaywm-running #ThinkPad x260 to #Debian #Trixie, the fonts in the #foot terminal look a lot smaller by default.

None of the configs have changed.

This is supposed to be 12 point. Does it look like 12 to you?

Ongoing fun ongoes, so much so. This iteration receives triple output: tty video (Display Port), COM1 redirect via DB9 to laptop running minicom, COM2 to the usual BMC SoL terminal watched from ipmitool on adjacent laptop.

Coming up, rebooting into GENERIC-DEBUG kernel rebuilt with remote GDM (kgdb) access via the COM1 link to laptop.

I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:

• Get new rubber feet
• Get a bigger SSD
• Install #pmOS and finally have #FDE on the thing
• Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time

I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.

I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.

It's always best to try to #reuse! <3

Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.

I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).

Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!

Anyway, help/advice appreciated.

A new day, another install of a BSD... This time NetBSD on a Thinkpad T430s.

Hat jemand zufällig noch 'n defektes Thinkpad T480 rumfliegen, dessen Display ich haben könnte?
EDIT: Danke für die vielen Boosts, ich hab' mir ein gebrauchtes Gehäuse gekauft und muss jetzt nur noch transplantieren. Bericht folgt!

Has anyone used a set like this to power a #Thinkpad which has a barrel or rectangular connector via USB-C ... I do worry about whether it's safe to do this, but would be really nice if it worked ...
