Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the SSD on your Lenovo Yoga 6 13ALC6.

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.

Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the six 7.2 mm screws securing the lower case.

Schritt 2

Insert an opening pick between the lower case and the chassis at a hinge corner.
Pry up with the pick to release the clips securing the lower case.
Repeat the process on the other hinge corner.

Schritt 3

Slide the pick along the right edge to release the clips securing the lower case.

Schritt 4

Continue sliding the opening pick along the front and left edges to release the remaining clips.

Schritt 5

Insert the pick on the hinge edge and slide along the entire edge to release all of the clips.

Schritt 6

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.

Schritt 7

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

Schritt 8

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2.5 mm screw securing the SSD.

Be very careful with this step! This screw is very difficult to get out - the metal is soft and it chews up easily. In my case, I failed to get it out. (Every other screw was eaily removable, which makes me suspect that Lenovo deliberately made this screw difficult to remove in order to make upgrades difficult.

Schritt 9

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.
