Replace USB-C port on Thinkpad
Koray:
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.
Peabody:
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.
u666sa:
The question here is this. Do you have a microscope?
If yes, then you'd have all other expensive tools and you are capable of doing this job.
If the answer is no, then you are not qualified to do this job.
Koray:
Glue under the port can be seen in this example:

Yes, but it seemed to come off with little problem. That video also showed heating from the back. But I'll have to see what's on that side of the board.
