Einleitung

Lenovo Yoga Book X90F. Model number: Lenovo YB-J912F. This guide will help to replace the hard drive if the hard drive is not functioning properly. Please follow this link to troubleshoot the device and determine if the problems are indicative of a faulty hard drive.

The hard drive is the operating process of the computer that contains the software necessary to run the computer, so a faulty hard drive will significantly impact the operation of the device.

Please be aware that the bottom screen needed for removal to complete this repair is very fragile, so be cautious of broken glass. A cracked bottom screen will not operate as it should, so the bottom screen may need to be replaced as well.

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.

Schritt 8

The battery is glued down to the frame of the computer.
Wedge the opening pick underneath the battery and work your around the battery.

Schritt 9

Once the adhesive begins to unstick from the battery, remove the battery from the device.

Schritt 10

Above the battery on the bottom of the computer is the motherboard. On the left side of it, there is a strip of black tape covering a connection to the computer.
Remove the tape, and pull the connection off the motherboard.

Schritt 11

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the motherboard.

Schritt 12

Remove the two pieces of tape to reveal two ribbon cables.
Disconnect the two ribbon cables from the motherboard.

Schritt 13

Disconnect the two cables on the right hand side of the motherboard.

Schritt 14

On the left side of the motherboard, there is a silver metal plate with a screw holding the motherboard to the computer.
Using the JIS #00 screwdriver, remove the single 8 mm screw and the plate from over the motherboard.
