I have a functioning Thinkpad T480p except for a busted keyboard (Nordic layout) and the Trackpad.

I assume they can be replaced but I have zero clue where to get the parts.

If anyone who has experience with this model could help, I would be grateful.

this was couple of years ago, mind you.

So wait, you called on-stie repair and then were surprised when an on-site technician showed up to do on-site service?

Well now you know. Just do this if it's still available. Otherwise I'm finding parts on aliexpress it looks like.

Just plug in a wireless mouse and keyboard and forget about the one on top imo. Laptop keyboards are awful anyway.
