$||T-T_n|| rightarrow 0$ and $T_n$ are compact but $T$ is not a compact operator.
$begingroup$
It is a result that if $||T-T_n|| rightarrow 0$ in the norm operator an that the $T_n in mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ (were $Y$ is a Banach space) are compact operators, then $T$ is compact. I found from here that pointwise convergence is not enough. But is there an easy counter-example for the case when $||T-T_n|| rightarrow 0$ but $Y$ is not Banach and when then $T$ is not compact?

If you redefine compact operator so that the image of the unit ball is precompact (instead of relatively compact, for Banach spaces this is equivalent) then the limit is indeed compact.

Consider $X=Y=d$ the space of finite sequences with the supremum norm. Then consider $$T_n(x_1,x_2,...,x_n,x_{n+1},...)=left(frac{x_1}{1},frac{x_2}{2},...,frac{x_n}{n},0,...right).$$ This sequence of compact operators converges to $$T(x_1,x_2,...)=left(frac{x_1}{1},frac{x_2}{2},...right).$$ However this is not a compact operator since $T(B_1)$ is not complete.

@SimileyCraft I am not sure to understand why we have the $1/n$ and the $2^{-n}$. If I take $T_n in mathcal L(l^p)$ with $T_n : x mapsto (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n, 0, 0, ...)$ then $T_n$ is compact and $T_n rightarrow Id_{l^p}$ in the operator norm, no? But then $Id_{l^p}$ is not compact because the sequence $(1,0,0,0,...), (0,1,0,0,...),(0,0,1,0,0,...)$ has no converging subsequence even though it is bounded. Also, you conclude by saying that we have a Cauchy sequence in $T(B_1)$ that doesn't converge meaning that $T(B_1)$ is not complete. Does it imply that it is not relatively compact?
