Lenovo Yoga Book X90F Battery Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

20 - 30 Minuten

Einleitung

To get to the battery in the Yoga Book X90F you will need to review the guide on how to remove the bottom screen/keyboard. Once the bottom screen is removed all you need is a pair of tweezers and a pick to wedge the battery out with. The battery can be diagnosed with the following troubleshooting page.

The battery provides power to the device, and a poor battery will not perform tasks on the computer well or for very long.

Prior to starting the replacement, please turn off the power on the device and disconnect any external power sources, such as the device charger.

Use caution when removing the battery as it may begin to bend and crack when prying off the board.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn off and power down the device before beginning this process. A heat gun or hair dryer will be suitable to heat the adhesive that holds down the screen. Apply heat to the entire surface area of the bottom screen.
New adhesive will be required when completing the steps in reverse order.

Schritt 2

Once the adhesive has been heated up, take the iFixIt suction cup and lift in a corner. The screen should be separating from the adhesive here.
While the screen is lifted, insert the ifixit opening pick to help pry off the screen.
The screen may crack easily as it is thin and fragile.

basically by this technique the screen WILL be cracked (as the images here show, and as I was actually expecting sadly). I wonder if there is a safer technique to remove the screen, even though it is too late for me now?

I also &&^&@@ up the screen following this guide. Too bad, the thing costs 160 euros.

This is barbaric work. The keyboard is broken at the edges. In other words, it's not just the battery that needs to be replaced 😁 It wasn't heated enough at the edges. You shouldn't tense up

Schritt 3

While the screen has been lifted, insert the plastic opening picks. Heat the adhesive and follow with the screen removal tool to ensure that you are not prying it apart with excessive force.

Schritt 4

After the screen has been opened, disconnect the ribbon connecting the bottom screen to the motherboard by gently pulling the ribbon with tweezers.
If there are black coverings on the tabs as shown in the second image, carefully remove them using a pair of tweezers.
You can find more information on Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors on this guide.

Schritt 5

Separate and remove the bottom screen from the device.

Schritt 6

Using a JIS #0 screwdriver, remove the single 8 mm screw.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.

there was a screw in this position in my tablet, but not connected to the ribbon in anyway. Also, it was an extremely soft screw, just ground away under the appropriate screwdriver!! so lucky it didn't need to be removed!

Schritt 7

Use the opening pick to remove the two black strips on each side of the battery so the battery is cleared of any obstructions.

Maybe it depends on the particular placement of the battery, but I can't see the need for this step unless the black strips have been very poorly placed.
