Thanks for the video, but it was really difficult to remove the keyboard without shattering the keyboard/digitizer, the glue is just so strong. I'm guessing professional repair teams have multiple suction cups used simultaneously to not create additional stress. Luckily I did not care too much about the keyboard, and replacing it is quite easy I suppose. But I removed it in order to replace my battery, which also had incredible strong adhesive (the old battery got deformed when removing). I wonder if I should have applied more heat? But I did not want to risk damaging any other components or applying heat on the battery. Now after repair the device turned on, but I still have trouble charging due to the port being broken or the charging link just having a poor design.
I just experienced it. It's quite normal the swollen battery. It's easy to perfectly dismantle as the video when keyboard is ok. But the cracking keyboard had one side stuck and down so I can't make out
Do you think that the sd card reader unit can be replaced with a faster one? i installed a fast128gb microsd card samsung evo capable of almost 90mb/s read and write (tested with usb 3.0 on PC), but the Lenovo Yoga book (windows version yb1-x91f) only reads it at 40 mb/s and writes at 20mb/s
My daughter has one of these, she's damaged the USB charging port probably by putting too much stress on the cable. How feasible is it to repair? Lenovo quote £30 just to look at it. I'm wondering if it's just not economical to let them repair it?
@4:56 when you remove the 11 screws from the plastic covers, what are the flat ribbon cables stuck to the plastic boards? On the underside of them are contacts for the WIFI board seen in @5:01
One should be able to see the type of SSD in the device manager and then google for it to see if it is a replaceable one or soldered on-board. In 2nd generation Yoga Book C930 it is a replaceable M.2 2242.
Hi .. very good tutorial.. I am looking to replace the 64Gby internal memory with 128Gby as the former is running out of space.. is it possible to do this without complete disassemby.. is the chip in a socket?? Regards Anthony
Monitor interfaces with the motherboard over an edp connection or similar, you'd need an adapter board to achieve HDMI input. you would be hard pressed to use it's built in micro hdmi as it's an output not an input, you'd also need a power source, be it a wall adapter that plugs into the adapter board, or a powerbank using usb to to the adapter board. I'd much more likely reccomend looking at eyoyo/elecrow/ other raspberry pi and such aimed displays. eleduino has a 9 inch full hd IPS display for $90-ish USD, or an 11.6 inch full hd IPS with pen and touch support (surface 3/4 pens supported) for $160. there's lots of options these days for relatively cheap.
HI great video , could you please do one live....my keyboard CRACKED now only 1/4 of it is working and Lenovo refuses to help out. Would be much appreciated!!!
ciao,mi si è rotto il vetro del pannello dove c'è la tastiera e la tavoletta per disegnare, mi sapresti dire dove posso trovare il ricambio o almeno il suo nome preciso per poter fare una ricerca in rete. grazie mille buona giornata
I destroyed the keyboard. The damn thing is 0.5 or less millimeters, and also applying heat won't suffice to detach it safely. In the video he himself shattered a corner. This tablet should have a repairability index of ZERO.
Do not buy this my keyboard cracked Lenovo won't even provide a bfix for its own shit. Even though a lot of complaint have been made. There is no solution.
