Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.
Jokes aside this is fucking rad and a continuation of great things from them. I really dread the day iFixit enshittifies.
If any company was going to make two parts that are technically the same part incompatible because they have slightly different manufacturing dates, it would be Lenovo.
ifixit is such a wonderful company. I downloaded all their repair manuals so I should be able to repair ‘anything’. And it does seem to be everything.
I love that they are still adding more resources for the general public. An actual ethical company imo. But please let me know if there is some controversy I am not aware of.
Less guesswork. Of course it’s not going to be complete. But it’s nice.
It’s cool but I wish it didn’t only cover the stuff in their store. Imagine if their repair guides just had a list of parts and their respective numbers for that device. Then you can decide where you want to purchase the part from.
My experience with compatibility checkers hasn’t been stellar. I’ll check this out.
