Building the Perfect ThinkPad X230 Part 1: Complete Disassembly, Re-pasting, Fan, SSD, RAM

Part 1 of 3: Building the perfect ThinkPad X230. Note: The chip that is called “GPU“ in the video is actually the chipset PCH ;). The Thinkpad X230 is getting disassembled completely in order to re-paste the CPU and replace the fan. On the way it will also get a new SSD, more RAM and a faster WWAN card. In the next video, I will retrofit a classic 7-row ThinkPad keyboard into this machine! Stay tuned :).
