You are doing gods job.

[@thegreatblizzard4434]

Nice informative video....keep it up:)

[@benmiller200]

Was hoping to see the lte card in unit

[@friedrichriedl452]

Very well done :-)

[@chrisjones7062]

Noting the clips the mettle shield clips into would be good. They are hard to see in the video.

Can we install optane intel memory there?

[@patrickobrien6648]

Just put in a AX211NGW tonight, FYI somehow either the bios or Windows 10 doesn't like the Wifi 6E card. :(

[@_Red_Hand_]

Anyone know where i can find bios battery for this laptop model number ?

[@zgagacz]

can the WWAN (mobile internet) card m.2 slot be used to install half size m.2 SSD ?

[@cirozorro]

Yes you should as long as it is PCIE NVME m.2, that is what I have on my T480, much better choices now than there was 3 years ago.

[@zgagacz]

@@cirozorro , looking at the WWAN m.2 slot it is B cut, like in T480. What SSD did you put into your T480 WWAN slot? In my T480 I put 512GB WD SN520, which is half size (2242) and B&M cut. Cost me just above 100 EUR.

[@cirozorro]

@@zgagacz Yes that works - per my experience, any pcie nvme that is B+M key fits in that slot and should be functional(unless in Bios it is disabled/locked out as long as you have access can renable). Also SN520 is an excellent choice! From my own use/testing the SN520 is the fastest 2 lane ssd B+M ssd I have used (Might also want to look for used sn500 or bg3) What I used was the cheapest 480GB B+M available at the time, It was the SBX Eco 480GB on the old Phison 8 controller that they promptly did a silent update [Phison e13] so I can't find a web picture or even any reference for but it has horrible performance, more like a flash drive... Can get you pictures of it if you want. Check your local markets for old used drives, endurance on all of those is pretty good (600 cycles TLC) so I would look for the cheapest SN500,SN520,bg3 at the size you need at either 22x42 or 22x30(affix with tape). Also you will need a m2 screw with 2242 as there is not a screw in the laptop(M2.0 x 2.5 to 3.3mm will do the trick).

Is thermal paste needed as lube to insert the memory into the Sodom ports?

[@xz_sandy7533]

No

[@MyHor]

Job is not done. What about cooling system?That is the most important thing in the laptop.

[@sinannn000]

can the graphic card be upgraded?

[@CatholicCrusader__30]

no its already soldered in to the motherboard

[@xz_sandy7533]

There's no graphics card

[@leonaldzeus3102]

Is this laptop can install 2 m.2 ssd ?

[@heyhoe168]

no

[@CatholicCrusader__30]

only one

[@Krazy0]

bruh, why not disassembly the whole device
