Einleitung

Follow this guide to replace or remove the motherboard in your Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB. The motherboard is the central component inside a laptop and allows all the pieces of the computer to talk to each other. If the motherboard is damaged, the computer will not work correctly.

You might need to replace your motherboard if you spilled liquid on the computer or if the laptop is not turning on even after you have made sure the battery is working.

Make sure to take off the SSD, wireless card, heat sink, and extra RAM before you safely dispose of the old motherboard. These components can be transferred to the new motherboard.
