    • Before you begin, be sure to turn off your laptop and discharge the battery down to 25%.

    • Start by flipping the device over so that you see the screws.

    • Remove seven Torx T5 short screws.

    • Remove three Torx T5 long screws.

    • Starting from the USB port, use your opening tool to gently pry up the case.

    • Make sure you are prying on the cover itself, not the metal shield around the USB port.

    • Pry along the laptop in the order shown by the arrows.

    • Do NOT pry along the top side, or you risk damaging the casing. Stay with the arrows.

    • Lift the case from the bottom side. NOT the side with the hinges.

    • This is the battery. For guides that are for other parts, the battery is removed for the reason of it being a pain to connect or disconnect while screwed in.

    • Be careful not to short anything on the motherboard, as the battery cannot be disconnected before removal.

    • Remove four J1 Philips screws.

    • Remove one J1 philips screw.

    • Do not mix these screws up. If you put the longer screw where the shorter screw belongs, you will damage the shield around the keyboard.

    • Lift the battery slightly using your plastic opening tool.

    • Do not lift the battery out all the way, as it is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Do NOT puncture or deform the battery or it may catch fire or even explode.

Just for the record: a 1730Mbps Wireless 9260NGW Wifi Network Card For Intel 9260 Dual Band NGFF 2x2 802.11ac Wifi Bluetooth 5.0 will work for a Yoga 720 13IKB and will add Bluetooth 5.1 to your device :)

Just wanted to add I just swapped my 720-13IKB’s wifi module for a Intel AX200 (Only version i could buy was in a “desktop kit”)

and it worked out of the box! AX201 / AX210 or newer are a different kind of m.2 wifi and wont work with the 720 13IKB according to reddit.

Now I’m easily getting 350 down on my 5Ghz 40HT (Wifi6 WPA3) network!, Old card didn’t support my new WPA3 wifi and could only get 100ish down.
