Lenovo ThinkPad T460 Motherboard Replacement
Inleiding
Ga naar stap 1Use this guide to replace the motherboard in your Lenovo ThinkPad T460 laptop.
The motherboard, also known as a system board or mainboard, is the primary printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer that enables communication between the internal components.
Diagnosing a faulty motherboard is tricky since the symptoms are similar to other failing components. Signs of a faulty motherboard may include overheating, error codes, the blue screen of death, or failure of other ports and components.
Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.

I used this guide to complete my first "iFixit" project - replacing the trackpad on my T460.
Wow, I was amazed at the quality of the instructions! The instructions and photos were very clear. In particular, I like the before and after photos for most steps. These make it so much clearer what direction you need to move something or make it simple to know where the screws are.
Thanks @kristen !
