ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9

That's the best part; you don't know how widespread this may actually/truly be. Not a lot of users immediately go to Reddit and say "LOOK AT MY GREEN LINE" I worked at Lenovo during the release of the X1 Carbon 9th generation; the internet still has notes on "what was happening" but it's a few spora

Yes, the keyboard is an original replacement that I bought directly from Lenovo. They had a very good deal on an Icelandic layout keyboard, not the layout I wanted but it doesn't really bother me that much. The original keyboard had to be replaced due to several dead keys, and the palm rest had worn

Depends on what the actual underlying cause is, which isn't exactly known, only theories. I personally think since the same MOSFET is used in multiple devices and X1C9/X1Y6 is the only ones having significant failure rates, that it's going into thermal runaway situation exacerbated by proximity to m

My current Thinkpad collection, I've owned over 20 Thinkpads over the years and started collecting in the past year or so again: My love: T480s, low power screen upgrade, 24GB of RAM, I love this machine, I used it to work and travel through Mexico with it, USB-C got messed up at the beach and MOBO

X1C9 is notorious for its PD circuit failures. One of the symptom was 15w limitation. It'll eventually refuse to charge. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/X1-Carbon-Gen-9-charging-issue/m-p/5127796?page=1 Do try poking the reset button tho. Sometimes it's just bugged EC.

I've had motherboard replacements done on three of these X1C Gen 9's. I still daily drive one of these alongside a X1 Nano Gen 2 and to sum up my experience and what I've found when researching this online in the past... - There are a few references to mosfets burning themselves out (on Reddit and F

I tried to switch to Thinkpad several times, but without success. The first Thikpad device I used was a Lenovo Thinkpad T480. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I was given this laptop at work. It's not a premium laptop, but it worked well for its intended purpose. The only issue was that the WiFi w

X1C9 specifically had its PD mosfet burning which is another layer of charging problem. Not really conclusive as to if Lenovo fixed the problem.
