As many who have been here know, I made a set of T420 guides 8 years ago but built them spitefully to retain as many points as possible. This was a mistake; frankly, even I abandoned them to avoid the headache I made within a few years! That's in the past, though.

I had some time to rework them properly and more or less rebuilt them from scratch with the old photos, but updated everything else. Outside of 8yearold photos being ehh, are there any issues with the "V2" T420 guides?

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/ThinkPad+T420+Hard+Drive+Replacement/78827 - mostly uncorrected, only change made was making the battery guide a prereq step to incorporate the changes.

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/ThinkPad+T420+Keyboard+reinstallation+Replacement/179690 - this is a "kludge" fix at most, nothing serious. I'm using this as a workaround due to the way prerequisites work here. This is a guide of need.

If there is anything I did a series of guides on I did this on and it warrants a fix, let me know. Just keep in mind I have one limitation: NO Toshiba reworks. I knew about the [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/ThinkPad+T420+Battery+Replacement/148542|Admin authored battery guide], but I reworked mine to rebuild the guides.

I can't exactly work around the weird placement of the keyboard reinstall steps without removing it;I've tried to work around it, hence the note. I need to give up that step or deal with the shortcomings.

II am aware my "fix" for the keyboard reinstall steps is kind of bad, but the problem is I am limited by the prerequisite system. I can't place it inline, otherwise it's out of place on the actual keyboard guide. If kept inline, then it doesn't align with other guides the keyboard goes on last and will cause some potenital confusion. My workaround is not great, but it's the best thing I ccan do to properly fix the issue.
