I was trying to determine which route would be most reasonable to diagnose or attempt any repairs. From what I have read, and generalized, I think the main issue (at least effecting...

I’m looking for advice on board-level troubleshooting and potential component-level repairs for a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 Intel (i7-1185G7) showing multi-domain instability.
