Einleitung

Before using this guide, refer to the troubleshooting page to diagnose the problem and verify if it can be fixed without having to replace the device.

Another name for the display is the screen. You would want to replace your display if it cracks or glitches in a way that prevents you from carrying out your usual tasks. Replacing a worn out or malfunctioning display would help you use your laptop better, since it enables you to view the tasks you perform.

Lenovo offers four types of displays for its ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen and this replacement guide applies to all four. The four displays include: the 14 inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS anti-glare 300 nits, 14 inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS anti-glare multi-touch, 300 nits, 14 inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS anti-glare 300 nits, and 14 inch HDR WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS glossy with Dolby Vision 500 nits. The display resolutions are found in the parenthesis.

If you follow the guide closely, you should be able to replace your display without any complications. Be sure to power off your laptop prior to beginning your repair and unplug it from the power source.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to unscrew the five screws that secure the back cover to the laptop.
The screws do not completely come off from the back cover. Loosen until the screws are completely loose.

Schritt 2

Use a Jimmy to lift the cover directly up off of the locating pins.
Though a metal opening tool is shown in the image, we recommend using plastic opening tools to minimize any cosmetic damage.
Remove the back cover.
If you encounter resistance when lifting the cover, revisit the screws to see if any of them are still threaded on to the device.

I thank you for these instructions. They were quite helpful and I successfully replaced the fan. There is one thing however. Your instructions stated the following: "Be sure to pull on all of the cables at the same time."

I disagree. One should never pull the wires. I was able to nudge the one part of the connector loose from the other part that it fit into." I then put the new fan in and gently and carefully pushed the connecting parts together.

Otherwise, your instructions were clear and to the point. Thank you very much

Schritt 3

Use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the four 5 mm screws that secure the battery to the laptop frame.

The screw holes do not align 100%. Dont tighten all the screws as you re-insert them, leave just a little bit of play so that you can push the battery slightly until all the screws fit nicely, then tighten them. A little bit of DIY wisdom helps here. :-)

Schritt 4

Take out the battery by lifting it from the bottom edge of the laptop, and then pulling away from the motherboard.

Recommend changing the command language to lifting from the TOP edge, as the BOTTOM edge is secured.

Thank you, was wondering what I'm doing wrong

You forgot to tell people to disconnect the battery from the motherboard before removing…

Agree with both comments above: lift from top left and top right of battery. This disconnects it and it lifts out and away.

In my 6th generation X1 Carbon there are two wires that are routed on the edge of the battery and have to be moved out of the way. These are antenna cables, be gentle with them, kinks and indents change their high frequency properties and may lead to problems with your WIFI.

Before removing laptop cover you can disable the battery in the bios before beginning work for extra safety. Battery will be re-enabled at next startup automatically.

How do I know the generation of my X1 Carbon?

Does this batter fit all generations?
