Einleitung
If you are experiencing longer than average start-up times or unexpected display issues such as freezing, it may be time to replace your motherboard.
Use this guide to learn how to safely remove the motherboard of a Lenovo IdeaPad S210 Touch. Knowing how to remove the motherboard is also necessary should you need to access some of the other internal hardware like the storage drive and fans.
Before using this guide, make sure that your computer is completely powered off and that all cables are unplugged. Be careful when using a screwdriver near the motherboard, as any contact could result in damage. If you need to set the motherboard down, remember to use a padded surface to protect sensitive components.
