Einleitung

This guide shows how to remove a previously existing wireless card. Be sure you are comfortable with the palm rest and keyboard removal guides before attempting this guide. Remember to always power down the computer before attempting any installation/removal of any hardware components. Be sure to remove the AC adapter and all cables from the computer. If the computer has been on, wait several minutes before beginning the procedure to ensure all parts have cooled down.

    • Turn the computer over to see the small tab on the battery located near the top of the Thinkpad.

    • Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four 17.0 mm screws.

    The screws we need to remove all supposedly share the same pictogram imprinted on the bottom case. If this is true why have you circled the rightmost screw in the photo above? The forth pictogram is near the screw below and to the left of the circled screw?

    • Turn the computer back over, so the keyboard is facing upwards.

    • Open the display to access the palm rest. Apply pressure to the sides of the palm rest so that it bends upwards in the middle. Gently lift away from the computer.

    • Slightly lift the palm rest away from the computer.

    • The touchpad's data cable connects the palm rest to the base unit. BE CAREUL!

    • Detach the connector by pulling upwards on the white tab.

    Putting it back on should be covered too, as it’s really hard to get everything lined up. Would be nice for some tips on that. Took me and other experienced guy 45 minutes to get the thing back on, and have all the screws seat!

    Where in this guide does it say how much RAM is supported? Am I missing something? Looks like two slots?

    • First, flip the laptop back over. Next, use your fingers to pry the keyboard upwards slightly.

    • Lift the keyboard until you are able to see the wire connection

    The cable from the WLAN module could interfere with the installation of the new keyboard.
