Another posting for disassembly of a Lenovo notebook, the access to the RAM and HDD upgrade is very simple but to service the CPU's fan or refreshing the thermal compound required further steps as below :-
1. Remove the easy access cover, screws position as highlighted with arrow.
2. After removed, it will reveals the RAM slots and the HDD. Even access to the CMOS battery and the Wireless card is visible.
At this stage you can easily upgrade the RAM or the HDD but if you wanted further access such as to the CPU then proceed to step #3 below.
3. Remove those screws as per highlighted in arrow below.
4. Turn over to remove the keyboard panel.
5. Carefully and slowly peel the keyboard panel to reveal the bezel. Becareful of the keyboard's ribbon cable as usual.
As this unit was serviced before, thus I did noticed some missing screws which was supposed to be there but aren't. As such I was unable to determined the actual screws location for this bezel.
6. Now slowly and carefully remove the keyboard's bezel for the mainboard access.
7. Next is to disconnect those ribbon cables as circled in red and remove the screws as per arrows shown below.
8. Once you have done that, slowly flip over the mainboard to access the CPU's heatsink and fan, there you can proceed to refresh the thermal compound and clean the heatsink and fan.
This model is very easy and have simple access, you just need to be very meticulous in looking for the screws as its very obvious and noticeable.
!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
