Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB SSD Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 5 Steps
Before you start, don’t forget to back up your important stuff – it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
Ready to swap out the SSD in your Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB? The SSD is like your computer’s memory vault—it’s where all your files hang out. If your current drive is running low on room, upgrading to a higher capacity SSD will give you more space to play with. Plus, if your machine powers on but doesn’t launch the operating system, a worn-out SSD could be the culprit. Always play it smart—backup your data before diving in.
Step 1
First things first, power down your computer and unplug that charger before diving in any deeper!
– Turn the laptop upside down so you’re staring at its bottom side.
– Unscrew the ten 7mm T5 Torx screws and set them aside—you’re crushing it!
Step 2
– Let’s get started by carefully prying up the bottom cover with an opening tool. Take your time and work your way around the edges.
– Begin at the front edge of the cover and gently make your way along the sides, making sure not to force anything.
Step 3
– Lift the bottom cover away from the hinges at the back—like you’re gently peeling off a sticker.
Step 4
If your laptop is fresh out of the box, keep an eye out for a sticker that might be hiding the screw.
– Unscrew the lone 2mm Phillips #1 screw—yep, just one!
Step 5
– Tilt the SSD gently and slide it out of the socket at the same angle it was resting.
– Avoid yanking it straight up—it’s all about sliding sideways toward the laptop’s edge.
Success!
