    • Carefully lift and remove the battery.

    If you have the right tools, this is really straightforward to do. Took me about 10 minutes. The instructions are very accurate.

    Regarding the battery connector, the male plug is attached to the battery wiring (you will know what I mean when you look at it) and the female socket is attached to the logic board. There are small ridges on either side of the plug that can be grasped with fingernails to gently tease the plug out of the socket.

Repaired customers Yoga 3 that had NO working USB ports whatsoever in less than an hour - after cleaning & replacing (no parts needed)

All USB ports were fully functional once again...

Great job & thank you for the help :)

This guide helped me quite a bit today. I really appreciate you providing it.

Jon Tucich -

Can you please help with information on where to get the DC input USB port part. My USB port is broken and unable to find it

Dheeraj -

None of the 3 USB ports were powering on.

Windows seemed happy and no drivers and bios update helped …

I took apart following this guide, cleaned all ports and PCBs with IPA and a toothbrush and now it’s all working again!

Thank you
