My $1300 Lenovo X1 carbon gen 3 from 2014 is still running as well as the day I got it (less one m.2 drive and CMOS battery) ...

Granted the first thing I did to it 10 years ago was install Fedora.

Try putting Pop OS or some Ubuntu flavor on it, maybe it'll find a 2nd life. If it's already bricked and there's no warranty, then what's the harm. (games support via Steam nowadays is almost seamless)

My x1c6 managed to cut into the e-DP cable inside its hinge when it was only three years old (right out of warranty). That was not a repair for the faint of heart (have to completely disassemble the monitor unit).

One of the thunderbolt ports started detaching from the board when it was around 4 years old, stopped working even for charging about a year after that. I didn't even try to fix that one
