Introduction

  • New M2 SSD compatible with your modelScrew like Phillips #1 Screwdriver or the tool provided on iFixit Tool.

I recommend to download also from Lenovo the official guides of your laptop as they have diagrams with the description of the motherboards and its components. In my case:

What you need

Step 1

              Identify the specific model and locate the screws to loose
  • Before remove the back-case of the laptop we have to remove the Pen Pro and the SD card if it is in your model (two boxes in orange on one of the photos).
  • Circles show the screws to loose. The yellow square indicates where the information about Model is found (20JJ in this case).

excellent and easy to follow instruction. I used your set and sent it to a senior that needed to fix their laptops. No prior experience. It worked like a charm.
