For access, remove these FRUs in order:
•
"1020 Hard disk drive or solid state drive assembly" on page 60
•
"1030 Keyboard" on page 61
•
"1040 Top case assembly" on page 63
Important notice for replacing a battery pack:
• Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox or Lenovo Solution Center (in Windows 7) has an automatic battery diagnostic that
determines if the battery pack is defective. A battery pack FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic
shows that the battery is defective.
• The only exception to this is if the battery pack is physically damaged or a customer is reporting a possible
safety issue.
• If Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not installed in the computer, the customer should download this program
before a non-physically damaged battery pack is replaced. Note that the replacement of a physically damaged
battery pack is not covered by the warranty.
Note: Before removing the battery, insert a straightened paper clip into the emergency reset hole to reset the
computer.
