I posted this already in the Thinkpad review thread, but it makes more sense to go here.

Hello Thinkpaders, I'm a foreigner who's been stuck in KL since the start of MCO, but I've been loving Malaysia, so that's ok. The only problem is my Thinkpad has been having problems.

Can anyone recommend a computer repair shop in KL?

I'm guessing my motherboard may need some minor soldering work. I have a 1st gen X1 extreme which is working mostly ok except that one of the RAM slots is having issues. Most of the time it will not boot with both RAM slots filled. Sometimes, but rarely it will boot and work just fine until there's any light movement or shock (even typing on the keyboard), then it will crash. It seems like there is something that shouldn't be making contact shorting the system.

So again, I would appreciate any repair shop recommendations that can do more advanced board repairs. Thanks!

You would be hard-pressed to find any service centers that do board-repairs (like Louis Rossmann).... they would change/replace your entire board... hopefully your laptop is still under warranty, as this will be done for you for essentially free...

It's no longer under warranty which is why i came along help. I did find someone on this forum that can reball a new cpu. Finding a replacement CPU is more challenging. It's easy to order from China, but I'm trying to avoid the hassles of shipping and find one locally.
