Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the left SSD on your Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 15ACH6.

Your laptop might not come with a standoff screw to install an additional SSD. In this case, you'll need to purchase one.

Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

Be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.

Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 10 screws securing the lower case:
Six 12 mm screws
Four 4.5 mm screws

Schritt 2

Insert an opening pick between the lower case and the chassis on the front right edge.

Schritt 3

Slide the pick along the front edge to release the clips securing the lower case.
Continue sliding the opening pick along the left and right edges to release the remaining clips.

Schritt 4

Lift the lower case from the chassis and remove it.
During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

May be important to note that the power button is in the middle top of the keyboard and thus it would be safest to open the lid sideways with the lid partly open on a clean surface as to not drop or touch the pcb/mother board with the work surface.

Schritt 5

Use the pointed end of a spudger to push each side of the battery connector until it comes out of the socket.

Schritt 6

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2.4 mm screw securing the left SSD.

Schritt 7

Pull the SSD out of its socket and remove it. Keep the SSD as parallel to the motherboard as possible when pulling on it.
Do not pull up at a sharp angle, as this could damage the SSD and the socket.
