  1. Rescued #Thinkpad #T440 with #FanError (the tiny earth wire on the fan comes adrift).

    Not fun to solder (even with microscope) as <0,5mm diameter cable, got colophony from rework flux pen all over my hands (nasty sticky stuff), and it was *not* pretty soldering but thought it worth a try

    New thermal paste applied and #laptop reassembled, it starts up now which is better than before

    It will be used as a backup laptop for the office (which is why its getting Windows as I haven't yet been able to evaluate Linux Mint for office staff use) and for the online training that new care staff have to do as part of their induction process..
