Lenovo Yoga 710-15IKB Solid State Drive Replacement

Introduction

Solid state drives are known to fail occasionally, but this doesn't mean you have to do away with your laptop entirely. Replacing a bad drive is as simple as removing the battery and a single screw. Failure can be caused by heat, voltage fluctuation, and age.

Be cognizant of which screws come from which locations. I did not notice that three of the screws were longer than the others. I ended up reinstalling mine along the hinge side of the back cover.

Slide an opening tool between the base and back cover and work your way around the entire device to release the back cover.

Wow, this is extremely difficult. Wondering why Lenovo didn’t provide small grooves to simplify this process. This is my first and last time purchasing a Lenovo. I’ve experienced so many issue with this laptop

The screws securing my battery were also PH1. Be careful as it would be extremely easy to strip the heads on these screws using the incorrect size.

Thanks! I’ll update the step to reflect this.

Disconnect the battery by pulling its cable away from the hinge with a pair of tweezers or your fingers.

There is no latch or anything. Just pull it out gently towards the battery.

I had to put a bit of elbow grease and patience into this step. Looking at the replacement battery as reference help to understand what would work best

This step made me nervous! I wasn't sure how much elbow grease to use. It took a good firm horizontal yank, holding the cord near the plug. It's probably not a good idea to yank it by grasping the battery.
