One day I read a post on r/thinkpad, the poster praised their old Thinkpad, claim it was a solid machine, but a hardware failure killed it and the poster were "too exhausted" to get it fixed (something like that).
The hardware failure don't sounded hard to diagnose, but then on the picture attached to the post, I noticed a crack on the top right corner of the plastic keyboard frame, near where the screen hinge is installed underneath. I realized that the crack was probably what actually killed that laptop, among all other (smaller) things.
Cosmetic is very important too, I guess :D
