Here is another video for T480s USB-C port replacement: I already bought the ports but I am dragging my feet to do it. I have a temperature/speed controlled hot air gun but I am still scared a bit. My workhorse T480 has a rare board with discreet graphics card so I am scared of breaking it. I am now using the second USB-C port for charging it but I don't know how long it will last. |

Yeah, I don't see why he doesn't get solder bridges on all the pins after adding all that low temp solder. But apparently he didn't. Well I'm in the same situation. I have the second USB-C port I can use for charging, but would rather not depend on that. |

Glue under the port can be seen in this example: |
