Lenovo T470 Disassembly RAM SSD Hard Drive Battery Upgrade Repair Replacement 

Thank you for making this video, pretty detailed!

Cool details on the bios reset hole and the keyboard drainage holes.

Really helpful. Thank you 🤞

Perfect video made by Sabretooth from Xmen. Thanks!

Thank you for this video! Super helpful

Good, info, took me 5 minutes to add ram

Briliant thanks from Ireland

Internal -- do set the battery recharge and save options. Mine lasted about 4 years.

thank you so much for this!

Good video. Thanks!

thank you for your help

Thanks for the video! What about the charging and USB-C, is it soldered onto the motherboard or is it a separate component? Also, will the bios reset button work if the motherboard is locked?

Nice video but how is the battery life?

that little hole in the center left of the bottom of the laptop ? it has a botton under it, its the power disconnect botton, when pushed it shuts down everything. its the first thing you should do when taking apart a thinkpad. every modern thinkpad has a hole with a botton under it.

thanks!

thanks for the video... have a question, the t470 have space to add a sata HD ?

I have T470, but it didn't have second battery? What shall be they price? And model no of battery? So shall I buy and add this to it? Also it's 8gbram 512gb SSD. Shall i put 8gb additional or put 16gb additional ?

did the laptop really got double batteries?

There’s only one ram slot?

9:21 that reset Bios button can clear a bios password that I forgot?

Your lap model number I saw t470 with single ram in another video

@ 8:36; "there's also this button here to reset the BIOS" Do you mean to say that if there was a supervisor password on the BIOS it could be removed by putting a pin in this hole ? Answer that question, and I'll send you a few bucks. As I just bought a second hand t470 off eb, and has a locked BIOS.

You look like you have two ram slots on this computer. The one closer to the bottom of the video screen is empty. That is for ram right? Above that you have the 16 GB one. So that is two ram slots right? You are not clear about this. I know that some Lenovo's have a soldered on ram and one slot. So be clear about that other slot please.

only one RAM slot?

Is there an extra ssd slot in this. If yes what configuration

Can we 3200 DDR4 RAM more clock speed it will support or not

bro 2 of my cpu fan screw won’t unscrewed any help , what is the size of the Phillips head screwdriver ur using? Thx

Is it possible to add a second SSD to this laptop? I have the T470 with an M.2 NVMe SSD but I want to add a second one. The spec sheet seems to be contradictory but from what I've read it seems I can add a second SSD as long as I don't have the 4G module. Thoughts?

please what screwdriver did you use ?

I am planning to buy a t470 but that laptop doesn't have a fingerprint scanner and has a dual storage, it says it has a slot for both ssd and HDD. Is that fake or what?

just so annoyed you ignored the empty m.2 slot under the cover next to the wireless card. it's probably nothing.

How many ram slot available?

I just bought this renewed and in power settings it lists two batteries but says battery one empty but two has the external.Can I just order and install the internal one? Thanks

hi bro i wanna know if my t470 has the option of a m.2 pcie nvme on the ssd sata 3.0 slot, ive seen a lot of forums that say that a m.2 pcie nvme cant be adapted to sata 3, and if it works where i can buy one of those adapters you have on the 470 of the video, and also if i can use an adapter from m.2 2240 on the laptoop to pcie or other ssd format, srry if i have some mistake, im spanish native

Hey, I want to upgrade my SSD , which port will be faster ? The 2242 slot by the wifi card or the slot with the flex cable at the bottom ?

can the wwan slot be used for SSD M2 2422?

Can u upgrade the ram to 32gb?

No possibility of second SSD (SATA or NVME), no possibility upgrade CPU. This "new" T's series are terrible... );

is this laptop support NVME ..?

One small, stupid thing decided that this business laptop so praised by everyone - in my case the ThinkPad T470 became useless for me and the point is that despite mounting the Realtek Music Card Chipset in them, in the recording options it absolutely does not support the Function " STEREO MIX". To a large extent, I use the laptop as a Digital Tape Recorder for recording and editing various music, for which recording via a microphone is not suitable - and this is the only option this laptop offers. I am forced to use an external Music Card connected to the USB Port, which makes the Laptop lose mobility and also loses in my opinion. This is a very rare condition and that it must have happened to me with this T470. I am quite devastated by this situation. I also do not like that these laptops do not have a normal SATA Interface slot for the HDD and in case of problems with the HDD, you need to look for special adapters. During the installation of the OS - after removing all Disk Partitions, the Installer threw a yellow message that the System cannot be installed on this Disk - and (sneezes)!!! It's good that my desktop PC, apart from the usual SATA sockets, had identical, matching M.2 Disk installed in the T470, and only then could I completely reset the Disk and, after re-transferring it to the T470, install the System normally. However, this (SQUARE CIRCLE). And to make it even funnier, the second M.2 Disk reacted in the same way - a smaller one placed in the second slot intended for small-sized (short) M.2 Disks, because the main one is M.2 but connected with an adapter - an adapter for Mini PCiex - such as for WiFi Card. Confusion with confusion. There are other Lenovo ThinkPads much thinner and then it's justified, but this T470 can easily accommodate a regular 2.5" drive, so I don't know why they messed up this Storage Disk Interface solution. The laptop, however, makes up for it with its solidity, speed and powerful stability.

How many RAM slots are there, it only looks like 1 ?

damn your nails are long...and why use a screwdriver to pry, rather than an actual plastic pry tool?

Thanks. Really helpful.

Good video. Thanks!
