Einleitung

This step-by-step repair guide will show you how to replace the keyboard in the 13 inch Lenovo Yoga 900. Whether you have a malfunctioning key or the whole keyboard has ceased to work, replacing your keyboard will get you back to typing. Fortunately, the keyboard in the Yoga 900-13ISK is modular, so you can replace it without needing to replace the entire palm rest.

Be sure to unplug and completely turn off your device before you start working.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Using a T5 Torx screwdriver, remove the ten 5.5 mm screws from the back case of the laptop.

Schritt 2

Use a spudger to pry open the back case at the hinges of the laptop.
There are plastic clips around the perimeter of the case holding down the back cover. These will need to be popped off as the cover is removed.
Use your fingers to completely pop off the back cover.

Schritt 3

Remove the five 3.6 mm screws from the battery with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Schritt 4

Grab the bottom corners of the battery and gently pull the battery until the cable disconnects from the connector on the motherboard.
While reassembling, use a plastic spudger to push the battery cable into the connector on the underside of the motherboard. This will be easier to do before the screws are replaced.

Schritt 5

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 2.7 mm screw that is holding down the SSD card.

Stop! Before you remove anything else, you can just un-secure the fan assm and lift it up to get the power connector cable out. This only requires removing the NGFF wifi card. You DON'T need to remove the motherboard like this guide recommends, just take care to not bend the heat pipe up too high as you lift the fan assembly, as it is quite fragile.

The Wi-Fi card may pop up to rest at an angle to the motherboard after the screw is removed.

Pull the WiFi card out from the connector on the motherboard.

Using the pointed end of a spudger, flip up the hinged locking tabs of the eight ZIF connectors on the motherboard.
