How to Replace the type C charging port for Lenovo Thinkpad E15 series. This instruction is not for novice. Proper tools are required for successful repair.
Since about 10 years I have not touched a soldering iron. Now it looks like I have repaired a E15. It is charging with 60W. Thanks to your instructions. Well explained. Now I feel like I can build a moon lander. 😂
Thanks so much for posting. Great video. My conclusion after watching: It is definitely above my skill level. I think I will have a professional repair shop do it for me. Wouldn't have known without the video.
Thank you very much for this video. I am preparing myself to replace the same C connector on my Lenovo E495. Very timely help for me. Just have to get some hot air desoldering station. Fortunately, where I am right now it's pretty cheap. 🤣
Do thse fail on the exterior pins (where cable is plugged in) rather than the pins holding it to the motherboard ? Because motherboard end looks solid. I just got an X13 and the USB-C is very very wobbly. I want to know what to expect or where to be careful.
I went to one local computer place and they didn’t want to do soldering however, the week before they suggested replacing my worn / corroded USB port so I’m confused should I go back and ask for a different tech guy? I’m assuming if you can replace the USB the C port is similar… I feel like the motherboard diagnosis was an “up sale”
Bestbuy Geek Squad doesn't offer this kind of motherboard repair service. Many of my customers visit me are referred by Geek Squad. They send me cusomers to my shop...😆
