I bought three Lenovo laptops from 2010 to 2011 without proprietary measures on their end. I could upgrade RAM without issue. I gave up on Lenovo this year ever since finding out that they solder one stick of RAM so that if said RAM fails you have to return the system for them to repair it. It also prevents you from upgrading/adding more RAM. I am done with this company and this excellent video supports my stance. Thanks.

I'm not surprised. I bought a top of the line Lenovo laptop for like $1,500+ and it died a year later. I had taken such good care of my expensive tool and hoped it would last many years, which is why I spent more. I also swore I'd never buy another one. I'm sure failures like this were planned for increase of business. I'd never do this to another person. If anything I give more than I'd get in return on most occasions. I can't support a company that takes advantage of people. Thanks for the video verifying my decision a few years back wasn't by mistake.

Great video, it is good to know what you can expect.

Still using a 2011 lenovo t520, I think they still used the molds and hw designs from the IBM days then, it's very solidly built and hasn't failed me once. But good on you to call Lenovo out on this, I agree this is unacceptable and highly suspicious design. Input protection on pins is a given, there's really no excuse. Either the zener variant you showed or 2 upward facing diodes from gnd to positive. Must be a case of design by gunpoint!

Thinkpad, X, and P series are very good laptops. In fact, one of the best on the market as it comes to quality and durability. Saying all lenovo are bad is a bit of an exaggeration. All manufactures are guilty of design failure in their low end products. Cheap, critical design failure, uneconomical to repair, buy new. That's the world we live in and consumer electronics companies business model now days.This laptop is cheap budget lenovo model. This is the case with any budget laptop brand. Apple is even worst, because their high end expensive line is design to fail! You don't want to buy cheapest laptop from any manufacturer. You'er better off buying second hand mid tier model.

Sorin this a criminal action from lenovo, thanks for the info i also will inform my family and friends.

One thing I like about this laptop design is how easy it is to access the CPU fan. One can clean it more often and its easy to replace in case it goes dead or start making a weird noise. In most laptops, you have to remove the motherboard and everything just to access that fan.

Nice video . Very informative. I had a Lenovo laptop the hinges broke in a bad way requiring the whole lid be replaced. Same thing happened with my MSI was able to repair with no parts and still works a year later.

True, Lenovo picked up many bad practices from Apple but their over-large range includes entry-level machines and the G50-80 is one such. It is not a ThinkPad. Although ThinkPad quality has declined since the fad for slimline took hold the buyer should properly evaluate specs, layout and price. A refurbished 'proper' ThinkPad pre the awful mess that was the T440 should last a demanding user many years and can be upgraded. The pseudo-USB shaped connector was inferior to the barrel type from the start and should be discontinued. People who have pointed out that most Apple products are flimsy and hard to repair despite the enormously inflated prices and lousy official service are right. However, the bad power protection on the G50-80 is on a cheap machine. Sorin might have different thoughts on other Lenovo products but I hope that he has shamed the greedy designers with his cogent points. It is also great to see a true expert at work.

Thinkpads are great machines but I have experience with a U530 where the hinge cracks (common problem). This forces you to buy a new machine just because some cheaply made part decides to fail.

@@raffaele148 thank you for your comment. This is exactly how I feel. You can't bash the company for an engineering compromise made to one product. I have been repairing all types electronics for the last 30 years and have 3 lenovo products. I only recommend lenovo of I'm forced to recommend anything. And it's so true. I wouldn't send my stuff to this guy even though he knows his stuff. He's too heavy-handed and seems to get distracted easily.

Wonderful demo

thanks for the video and the good advice

Love my ThinkPad, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

The difference between thinkpads and ideapads is huge, though. I had both. My ideapad was a piece of shit, while I love the thinkpad.

Facts are objective, opinions are subjective. Same for everything, bad practices, scam, exist and have a long life because some people are stupid and even if you teach them the scam point, they stay stupid and live in a kind of deny mind position. For example, Apple sale expensive hardware and software and spy there customer through back doors, they also lock them with a jail commercial system than they have to buy special plugs, special software for anything, at expensive price. What ever some nice people demonstrate about these crooks practice they do, some customer hate who ? The crooks ? No, they hate the people who show them the objective true about the scam. Why ? Because they are stupid and yes, crooks make money (a lot) with stupid people. And there is so much...

I own an oldschool x200 and use some brand-new Thinkpad (from employer). Even though both are thinkpads the difference is night and day. That old x200 with it's Core 2 Duo is still soldiering on despite all odds (with Windows 10 and Visual Studio running... well, at a respectable speed) while the new one is literally falling apart without any reason. So yeah, T series an older W and X are good newer ones not all the time.

Enjoyed the video. But my work experience suggests this sort of built-in risk is probably mostly an error. From work I found like mistakes in electronics in missiles and radar designs for defense systems. Also errors that can cause total failure. In heavy equipment designed in risks that could result in killing operators. Much design is pushed to meet deadlines that contribute to the risk, particularly as product competition drives decisions, and understanding risk often can be not analysed before failures. Surprisingly the management of companies do not always acquiesce to fixing these until a history of damage specific to the particular product becomes undeniable even when shown like problems in other products. Caveat emptor cautions that the buyer might over pay, but in these cases the product may cause a catastrophe. Consider the Chenobyl reactor as a particularly extreme example of poor judgement rather than intentional miscredence.

My Lenovo never have any issue, but it,s fun to watch your video.

Great job,i enjoy all what u do.

Lenvo was already on my blacklist for security reasons.

Hi there, great videos, learning a lot during this lock-down period. One question: can I submit a query about a specific issue? How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the video, I have T460s which works perfect after miner ram and ssd update. But that direct connection makes machine useless in case of lost or destroyed charger. Other misconduct that I’ve noticed on my t460s is soldered ram to the motherboard as they leaved just one additional ddr4 slot for update. Also probably program level disabled second M2 slot, it’s attached to the motherboard but not available in the BIOS .

I will never buy Lenevo after watching this. Thanks Sorin

What do u expect from an old laptop , maybe they changed their designs in the new ones

It might be old. But you'd expect it to be designed by an adult. Not a 13 year old.

Sorin, in primul rand multumesc pentru postari ,le urmaresc cu inters pentru ca am aceasi pasiune ,reparatiile de electronica de orice fel,locuiesc in Spania cu familia de 17 ani si cumpar tot felul de oprtunitati de pe ebay dar pierd mult timp la reparatii electronica si ceasuri.Domul sa te binecuvinteze pe tine si familia ta si tara ta acolo unde locuiesti.

Hi Sorin, you said about programming the super/io, even the ITE IT8518E need to be programmed? I saw you replacing that in another video and looks like that point was not important on that time. Thanks!

Many years ago I worked for HP on their minicomputers. My guess is that this was NOT an intentional design flaw to frustrate customers. That would take too much thought and work. Mistakes like this are usually the result of sloppiness, being rushed, not putting a high priority on products being resilient. An engineer might have tried to bring this issue up in a meeting, but be voted down because the schedule was tight. Kudos to Sorin (and to Rossman) for making knowledgeable criticism of bad design. It is great ammunitiion for engineers inside Lenovo or Apple to tell the rest of the team: "Hey, if we let this sloppy design go by, we'll get roasted online. Let's take a little more time and do it right!"

Stuff like this still shouldn't happen. It is 2 cents in parts and can be done super easily in the schematic and layout. Esd protection should always be there on any pin going outside. This is just a wrong design philosophy / quality standard

@@unbekannternutzer8506 , I don't disagree. I'm just describing how it probably happened, given my experience on projects in a large corporation. The area I worked in was higher end, and people were more careful. Still things like this occurred. There's tremendous pressure to ship product.

Hi Sorin, IT8586E before soldering it should be reprogrammed right?
