Introdução

Need to fix some hardware in your device? Here's how to get started!

Before opening your ThinkPad, first make sure that your device is completely powered off and that your charging cable is disconnected. Make sure there is no electricity actively flowing through the device before touching anything inside. Components within the device may be sharp, so watch your fingers!

Note: This guide was written with a 21E3 model, but the process is the same for all E14 Gen 4 ThinkPads.

    • Loosen all seven captive screws on the back panel of the device with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Insert an opening pick into the seam near the hinges.

    • Working from the hinges to the front, gently pry apart the back of the device from the main body.

    • You should hear little pops and see a small gap forming at the seam before attempting to remove.

    • Plastic pry tools are the best to use with electronics such as phones, tablets, and laptops because they are designed to break before the device does.

    • Carefully lift the loosened panel away from the laptop.

    • Before attempting to lift the panel off, make sure it has been pried away from all edges and corners of the device. Trying to remove the back panel when any part is still firmly attached to the laptop can cause damage to the device.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
