What is a good source/seller for the EU? The nipple included with my qwerty replacement board for a T480 won’t last much longer… The original one from the qwertz board is lost in space. Any recomendation?

Edit: found 10 nipples for 3 bucks on ebay. Shipping from China. Probably lousy ones…

    There are tons of them on ebay. There are a few different types, depending on your thinkpad model. I suspect the T480 uses the square post style like older T series thinkpads, but I don’t know. Basically, look carefully at the pics to make sure you get the right kind.

    If you want OEM ones, try lenovo.com, but they will cost more.

      Yeah the T480 is different to my P14s AMD gen2 and my old Yoga 460.

      Do you know the price for the OEM ones?

      Cause I read some time ago on reddit, that the cheap ones from China are usually not lasting very long. Like the one included with the replacement board. It took 2 months to loose the grip… P14s still doing good after 1 year of nearly daily use. y460 lasts for years now. Idk bought that convertible back in 2017.
