My 12 year old thinkpad is still my daily driver.

Speakers stopped working 5 years ago tho. Only BT audio out, now.

You could probably open that up pretty easy and fix that I bet

This sort of thing is heavily dependent on how often they get away with pushing their luck.

With my luck, the moment I'd start fishing around inside the case, something would happen to make it refuse to boot or lose one or more of the RGB channels to the screen or something.

And the sound still wouldn't work.

Meanwhile I'll open my t420 for kicks, boots again every time

First thing that always went in every Thinkpad I've owned is the wireless card lol. Opposite issue for me.
