    Drama Lama reacted to Windows7ge in Lenovo ThinkCentere M700 Mini Restoration x4   
    Getting started on the first M700 Mini a few problems are immediately apparent including the heatsink being skewed and an issue with the standoffs for the M.2 SSD.
     

     
    Hopefully this won't be too hard to just bend back.
     
    I'll also be populating the CMOS battery, RAM, & SSD slots.
     

     
    The issue I'm running into with the SSD is that the peg for what I assume is M.2 2240 is too tall and pressing against the bottom of my 2280 SSD. So I removed the peg entirely.
     

     
    Now the SSD sits properly along side the RAM & battery.
     
    In this time I also got the CPU cooler and all thermal paste removed.
     

     
    Decided to go ham and dismantle the heatsink as deep as I could. The dust build-up wasn't terrible but I wanted to be thorough anyways.
     
     
     
    As it turns out the heatpipe is very soft and malleable. Correcting the skew mentioned earlier was a breeze.
     

     
    From here it was just a matter of putting the lid on and plugging it into power which I did on my workbench.
     

     
    Now there's no OS installed yet so it's not going to boot into anything but I was able to get it to boot off the attached thumb drive.
     

     
    So that's the first M700 Mini restored. Now to start on the other three.

    As Steve Jobs walked through the Apple headquarters, he couldn't believe his eyes. The once-innovative company that he had co-founded had become stagnant and complacent. Everywhere he looked, there were mounds of paperwork and bureaucracy stifling the creative spirit that had once defined Apple.   "What the hell happened here?" Steve muttered to himself.   He wandered through the hallways, taking note of the various departments and teams. He saw the marketing department, filled with people in suits sitting behind desks, pushing out the same old ad campaigns that offered nothing new or exciting. He saw the product development team, locked in meetings and consultations, seemingly unable to make any decisive decisions.   Steve was furious. This was not the Apple he knew and loved. This was a pale imitation, a shell of its former self.   He stormed into the office of the CEO, ready to give them a piece of his mind. But as he entered, he was surprised to see that the CEO was none other than Tim Cook, his successor and former protégé.   "Tim, what the hell is going on here?" Steve demanded. "This place is a mess! Where's the innovation? Where's the risk-taking? Where's the soul of Apple?"   Tim looked at Steve with a mix of confusion and disbelief. "Steve, is that really you? How are you even here? You're supposed to be... dead."   Steve sighed and shook his head. "It doesn't matter how I'm here, Tim. What matters is that Apple has lost its way. We were once the greatest tech company in the world, but now we're just another faceless corporation. We need to get back to our roots and start making revolutionary products again, not just incremental updates to the same old stuff."   Tim listened to Steve's words, and for a moment, he felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe Steve was right, maybe Apple had lost its way. But then he shook his head, dismissing the thought. "Steve, I understand where you're coming from, but things are different now. The market is more competitive than ever, and we can't just take reckless risks like we used to. We have shareholders to answer to, and a responsibility to maximize profits. That's the reality of running a business."   Steve's frustration boiled over. "That's bullshit, Tim! Apple was never just about maximizing profits, it was about creating amazing products and changing the world. And if you can't see that, then maybe you're not the right person to be running this company." With that, Steve stormed out of Tim's office, determined to shake things up and restore Apple to its former greatness. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to make a difference and show the world that Apple was still the revolutionary force it had once been.     As Steve made his way back through the Apple headquarters, he knew that he had to do something drastic to shake things up. He needed to inspire the employees and remind them of the innovation and creativity that had once defined the company.   He decided to hold a meeting in the main auditorium, where he would address the entire company and lay out his vision for the future. As he took the stage, the room fell silent, and all eyes were on him.   "Hello, everyone," Steve began. "I know that many of you are confused and surprised to see me here, but I have a message for all of you. Apple has lost its way, and it's time for us to get back to our roots and start making truly revolutionary products again. We need to take risks and push the boundaries of what's possible, not just follow the same old formula for success. It's time for us to start making magic again."   As Steve spoke, he could see the light of inspiration beginning to spark in the eyes of the employees. They were starting to remember what had made them fall in love with Apple in the first place, and they were starting to get excited about the possibilities of the future.   After the meeting, Steve met with the product development team and challenged them to come up with bold new ideas that would push the boundaries of technology. He also met with the marketing team and encouraged them to think outside the box and come up with creative campaigns that would capture the imagination of the public. Slowly but surely, Steve's vision for Apple was beginning to take shape. The company was starting to feel alive and vibrant again, and the employees were starting to feel a sense of excitement and purpose. And as Steve walked through the hallways, he couldn't help but smile. Apple was back, and it was better than ever.   As the weeks went by, Steve's efforts to revitalize Apple began to bear fruit. The product development team came up with a series of groundbreaking new ideas, and the marketing team launched campaigns that captured the public's imagination. Apple's stock price began to rise, and the company's reputation as a leader in innovation was restored. People were excited about Apple again, and the company was once again seen as a pioneer in the tech industry.   But not everyone was happy about Steve's return. Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple, was feeling threatened by Steve's presence and the positive impact he was having on the company. Tim decided to take action, and he began plotting to get rid of Steve once and for all. He began spreading rumors about Steve's resurrection being a hoax, and he even hired a team of private investigators to dig up dirt on Steve and find a way to discredit him.   But Steve was not about to be intimidated. He knew that Tim was jealous of his success and afraid of losing control of the company. So Steve decided to confront Tim and settle things once and for all. He walked into Tim's office and stood in front of him, staring him down. "Tim, I know what you've been trying to do," Steve said. "But you can't stop me. I'm here to stay, and I'm going to make sure that Apple stays true to its roots and continues to innovate and change the world. You can either get on board or get out of the way."   Tim was taken aback by Steve's words, and for a moment, he was speechless. But then he shook his head and sneered. "Steve, you may have been a great CEO once, but that was a long time ago. Times have changed, and Apple is a different company now. You can't just waltz in here and expect to take over. I'm the CEO, and I'm not going to let you or anyone else challenge my authority."   But Steve was not intimidated. He knew that he was right, and he was determined to see his vision for Apple through to the end. "Tim, you may have the title, but you don't have the passion or the vision that Apple needs. You're just a corporate stooge, afraid of taking risks and pushing the boundaries. But I'm not afraid, and I'm not going to let you or anyone else stand in my way. I'm going to make Apple great again, whether you like it or not."   With that, Steve turned and walked out of Tim's office, leaving him staring after him in shock and disbelief. Steve was back, and he was more determined than ever to lead Apple to even greater heights of success.

    They do make things a lot easier. The big thing it solves is forgetting, which can cause massive thousands of dollars problems.  $700 is a lot though.  The saying is that puppies chew, dogs bark, and cats pee.  Dogs chewing on the molding  can be far less expensive that the damage an incontinent cat can do.  I had to replace a wood floor, remove the side boards, and sand the studs behind them.  Total cost was around 8grand.  Way way more than a deposit.  So no cats for the tenants. Medical incontinence is one thing but the biggest problem is tenants simply not emptying litter boxes.  That’s what caused the $8,000 problem.

    Of course. Cat owners willing to spend the money on their pets, cats are totally worth it.
     
    Hopefully, I can get an auto litter box when I get a cat again... When we have transporter technology, I hope I can just teleport cat poo straight to the bin. Then I'll get 6 cats.
