Introdução

In this guide, we will replace the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3's motherboard. The motherboard is responsible for connecting various other components of the laptop, such as the Wi-Fi card, RAM, and SSD card, letting them all communicate with each other. It also contains the central processing unit.

Before beginning, power off and unplug the device.
