in a guide for the Yoga 370, you used pictures from another model?? Because parts aren’t in a 370, but you wanted a picture of them anyway?

From above “Note: Due to the similarity of the devices, several of the pictures were used from the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 Battery Replacement Guide to show the specific components that were missing in the Yoga 370. “

(I added the **** to show item in question)

I came here hoping to see what the various connections internally are for. I found pics not related to the device.

Also, the correct procedure to disable the battery is missing.
