Just writing to say that I admire your tenacity
I still have mine, what a great machine! I once accidentally stepped on it when hastily getting out of bed and nothing happened, it just continued to work.
I have a x220 that fell 1 meter lid first (and open) on the floor and... all I got was a crack on one of the posts inside the lid. Still fine to this day, in fact, still my number one laptop lol.
Those Vaios had a monumental amount of bloatware slowing them down too.
My wife has a dress with pockets and she didn't notice that for months because she didn't think to look for them and they weren't obvious. Same with a nightie. As someone who wears cargo pants, I was amused at her excitement.
I did this to my X201. Somehow i have like 7 screws that I couldn't find where they belonged (even though I tried to document each screw). I also broke part of the bezel. So I did put it back together again, but with poor structural integrity. The thing still works but I do not use it. Sadly that era of laptops just run too warm and the fans are too noisy.
