Use this guide to replace the SSD in your Lenovo ThinkPad T480s laptop.

An SSD (short for “solid-state drive”) is a storage component in a computer. SSDs use flash memory, as opposed to the spinning disks and moveable parts used in an HDD (hard disk drive). As a result, SSDs are much quieter and operate more quickly than HDDs. Signs your SSD may be faulty include corrupted data, read-only errors, frequent crashes, or blue screen of death.

If you are able to recover any data saved to your SSD, be sure to back up your files before beginning this guide. Also, make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.

Is there a need to remove the battery?

Sanjay - Réponse

Hi Sanjay, we just want to make sure that there is no power to the system and the step to remove the battery is included as a precaution. Typically, you could detach the connector from the motherboard without removing the battery, and that would be sufficient. This connector is integrated into the battery case so we recommend battery removal. Thanks!
