Einleitung

If your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Generation won’t turn on use this guide to replace the motherboard.

First check that it is not a faulty battery by checking or replacing the battery first as this could be the reason the Lenovo ThinkPad won’t turn on. Before replacing the battery, ensure your power adaptor is not the issue as well. To check if your adaptor is the problem, borrow and test a different adaptor. If the laptop charges during the test, you need to replace your power adaptor.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your phone completely and disconnect from any external power source.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Ensure the laptop is powered off and the charging cable is disconnected before opening the back cover.
Flip over the laptop to access the back cover.

Schritt 2

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the eight 8 mm screws.

More pricesely, screws need to be unscrewed, but not removed, since they stay attached to the back cover. Trying to remove them may damage the small gaskets around the screw shaft.

Good solution, but where do I find the battery?

So searching for motherboards, there are several different "gens". Can any of these be used to replace one? Or is it necessary to replace with the same gen?
