Unable to find parts for my laptop, what do I do?
My experience with Lenovo's support has been terrible. I'm looking for parts for my laptop, which is a Lenovo S540-15IWL (w/ MX 250).
So far, I was able to procure a battery, thankful. But it looks like as if the previous technician did a really botched job with the repair, and now I'm going to have to change not just the bent metal bottom case (he did that, fucking donut), but also the palm-rest (brass screw holder plastic destroyed), keyboard (missing numpad key) and mouse (bottom screw holder destroyed, I think, that is why it is popping out).
My speakers have also blown up, which was again the technician's fault - because it was working fine before. My matte LCD screen also has tints of red over the edge, thanks to the shitty technician, but I think it is probably a ribbon cable issue, and I can probably fix it by cleaning the ends of the ribbon? I don't know.
Now, I am not able to find the mouse and the screw pack (yep, there's screws missing from the official Lenovo repair technician). Now, what do I do in this circumstances? There's also no "duplicate" parts available, in my country, by the way.

This shouldn't be news but... Apple now lets you repair your own iPhone
www.xda-developers.com Apple now lets you repair your own iPhoneApple will finally allow individuals to order genuine repair parts and tools for their iPhones. Macs will follow later on.
Following heavy criticism regarding anti-repair practices on the iPhone 13 lineup, Apple has just announced its Self Service Repair program. The company shared earlier that it wouldn’t be disabling Face ID after third-party screen repairs, after online outrage. The Cupertino giant is now taking an unexpected step further and making repairs easily accessible to individuals.
In a newsroom post, Apple has stated that iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 users will be able to order genuine spare parts and tools to repair their own iPhones. The move is unprecedented by Apple, but it’s most definitely a welcome one that will help dodge anti-trust lawsuits.
Clearly, without lawsuits and pressure groups, this would never have changed. Whilst I really love some of what Apple does (very long software update cycles, the best health smartwatch, etc) there is also a lot I really dislike (a crippled Shortcuts app, iCloud web apps that lack features, Photos is dismal compared to Google Photos, etc). So this is yet another incremental improvement (like widgets, 3rd party keyboards and browsers, copy-and-paste, etc that eventually arrived).
