Before Servicing The Computer; Removing The Sim Card; 1010 Battery Pack - Lenovo ThinkPad T430s Hardware Maintenance Manual

Before servicing the computer

Carefully read this topic before servicing the computer.

Removing the SIM card

Some models you are servicing might have the SIM card that the customer has installed. If the computer you
are servicing has the SIM card installed, remove it before you start the servicing.
To remove the SIM card, you need to remove the battery pack first. See "1010 Battery pack" on page 64.
After you finish the servicing, make sure that you insert the card back into the slot firmly.

1010 Battery pack

Important notices for replacing a battery pack:
This system supports only batteries specially designed for this specific system and manufactured by Lenovo
or an authorized builder. The system does not support unauthorized batteries or batteries designed for other
systems. If an unauthorized battery or a battery designed for another system is installed, the system will
not charge.
Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and
provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use.
The Lenovo Solution Center program provides an automatic battery diagnostic test that determines if the
battery pack is defective. A battery pack FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic test 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 the Lenovo Solution Center program 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.
