Great tutorial. Finally someone that doesn't stop after the teardown with a "rebuild in reverse messege" but also the full rebuild. I followed it to the letter including forgetting the last flat cable before fitting the battery.

Hey man, thanks a lot for the guide! You saved me a lot of money and I learned a lot in the process, it was also very easy to understand! The only thing I wouldve done different is to recommend folks to carefully sort all the screws and everything. I like to draw a circle on an A4 with a "daughterboard" or something, and put the corresponding screws there. It makes it really easy to reassemble for less experienced people like myself!

Very nice video. That saves one the expensive repair service. However, it is not necessary to remove all cables from the motherboard. Likewise, the graphics card does not have to be removed completely. It is sufficient to loosen the screws, then the mainboard including speakers, graphics card and power connector can be removed. So it's enough to disconnect the ribbon cables and the WIFI connection.

very good video. for those who didn't have an LED back lit keyboard to begin with. turns out, you HAVE to get the unlit one anyway. getting the backlit one will bring you headache, the unlit motherboard doesn't have the connection soldered in for the LED wire to connect to. the fans screw points don't align and the HDD doesn't align back into place. since i have no choice but to put it all together, i just mashed everything together somehow and closed it up. the keyboard works and all, but now the durability and ridgidity lowered and no LED lights. i guess i could solder the strip to the connection points carefully, but that's very very tricky and very unhandy. hope this comment saves someone's ass. i wish i could read this info somewhere before i ordered.

I have loved Thinkpads forever and I really like my Y40, purchased many years ago and a departure from the Thinkpad line. I recently wanted to replace the keyboard with a backlit KB. This video is awesome!! It is sad to learn how badly Lenovo has screwed up IBM's tradition of making machines which are a dream to work on. This Y40 and Y50 design is probably the worst I have ever seen for servicing a keyboard!!! Keyboards often need servicing. What were they thinking?

Thank you very much for your informative video. I was researching about swapping my UK QWERY keyboard for a DE QWERTZ keyboard and with all the information here I reached the conclusion that it is not worth the cost, time and risk. I dont understand what the engineers were thinking when they glued the keyboard to the metal surface, this was such a bad idea.

Thanks very much for this. But at 16:40 you mention how we should test the keyboard before proceeding...but can you clarify? Or can anyone seeing this who knows? It seems we'd need to put everything back together to test it. Or did you/he mean perhaps test it with some other machine we may have? I rarely have to do this level of repair, so forgive my ignorance. Do you mean that keyboard conneciton ribbon is universal, and we could test it with about ANY laptop we may have (that's taken apart to the point we can disconnect its current keyboard)? Wanting to know before "just trying" things. :-)

Nop Nope Nope, Lenovo makes it's laptops already too broken, I think I'd rather buy an external keyboard. Besides I only have one slightly faulty key, and mostly wanted to replace it for one with backlight. Not worth the risk. I'll just make my desk larger and use external keyboard. Still, very informative. Thanks for the video.

Hello sir, Thank you for such a helpful video. Could I ask you a question? I had a laptop Lenovo Legion Y520 series same to you. But the CPU is not enough for my desire; hence, I want to upgrade it from i5-7300HQ to higher one. Is it impossible if I replace it with newer one? I read from most of blog that is we could not replace it with other version, because CPU has been soldered with mainboard. If you got experience with it, please give me a suggestion. Thanks in advance.
