Condition

As you can see from the pictures and video the laptop is in Excellent condition, I have only noticed the following very minor cosmetic imperfections & signs of use.

  • Very minor slight scuffs / scratches to the lid 
  • Very minor slight scuffs / scratches to the bottom case.
  • There is a very slight tiny hair line crack to the front middle of the bottom case. Extremely slight I only noticed it when removing the case to service the fan, as you can see in the product picture I have further secured this with a piece of colour matched vinyl skin this is the same material as used on some of the other ThinkPad lids very strong and durable
  • Slight shine to the trackpad purely cosmetic the trackpad works just fine 

Preparation, Diagnostics & Cleaning

The internal fan has been removed cleaned hoovered and new thermal paste applied to the heatsink then sprayed with compressed air to ensure of a cool quiet running experience as you can see from the good processor temperature reading via the Core Temp App. The motherboard is checked for any signs of liquid spills and sprayed with compressed air to remove any dust or debris. The keyboard has been fully tested and cleaned with a sanitizer solution  o remove any dirt and grime! All exteriors of the laptop are then cleaned with a sanitizer solution using a microfiber cloth. The screen is cleaned using a non-smear solution and a specialized LCD screen cleaning cloth. All ports are checked and tested as working.

The SSD has been checked using the Crystal Disk application and as you can see it reports Good health and a good temperature. The laptop then has a full diagnostic scan to ensure there are no failings or issues, as you will see in the video it passed without any issues. It is then left to run for at least 24 hours (generally 48 hours) without been allowed to sleep or hibernate to ensure no issues develop.
