My Thinkpad X250 suddenly stopped working one day. I opened it and I saw this chip left to the Ethernet port. It seems like it has exploded or something like that. Before it stopped working, sometimes it would get as hot as 95°C. Do have any idea of why it would stop working and if so, how I could repair it? Thanks in advance.

    I’m sorry but giving your specs your ThinkPad was long overdue for a thermal paste change.

    If you’re not gonna give it proper maintenance, then at the very least get a Core i3/Ryzen 3 next time.
