In other news, one of my laptops is broken because the backspace, backslash, and return key don't work. 1500 Eur laptop made useless by, likely, a single failed wire trace.

I wonder how hard it is to do a keyboard replacement on a Thinkpad carbon X1. Hier much glue?

Keyboard seems to be the deepest component to reach. Ugh.

@sixohsix thinkpads are "easy-ish" and there's lots of video guides out there. I've done it but not your model exactly

@sushee early models look quite repairable, but I have a Gen 11 and its disassembly videos are terrifying. Flat flex connectors everywhere!

(Also it technically belongs to my employer so I should probably get their blessing before ripping it apart.)
