I’ve repaired numerous non-lenovo laptops, it just required googling rather than an official web-page.

Sure, but for example, I was living in Singapore, prior to moving to Taiwan I sold my desktops and replaced them with laptops.

My wife needs a Traditional Chinese, so I went on Lenovo website, entered the product number in found this page:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/sg/en/products/laptops-and-netb...

Got the part numbers:

UpperCaseASM_TCL82JQSGw/RGBWRF Part Number: 5CB1C14972

Then went to the Lenovo store and ordered the part, then replaced it.

It's not about googling, its about the manufacturer having this itself. I don't know if Dell or HP do anything similar.

That's pretty cool — but not worth working with a vendor that's known to ship rootkits/malware.
