Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

6

Time Required

5 minutes

Introduction

If the Lenovo is unable to read a disc, the optical drive may be broken. To replace the optical drive, follow the provided guide.

  1. iaTSuQ65o5eYyMRP

    • Flip the IdeaPad bottom side up.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the two 6.0mm screws on the back panel, that hold the keyboard.

    • Flip the computer back to top facing.

  2. MWgAEW1RNUuDyE1A

    • Open the lid.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to pry the keyboard up and away from the bottom assembly.

    There’s a screw which is fixed behind the laptop which is fixed to keyboard.

    So first remove all screws on the back panel in step 5.

    There are actually 2 screws on the bottom of the laptop that secure the keyboard. Removing all screws from the bottom of the laptop is still the best thing to do before beginning.

    • Next disconnect the keyboard cable by using the tip of the spudger or your finger to lightly push out the ribbon from the contact port.

    • Completely remove the keyboard from the bottom assembly.

    Die zwei Schrauben auf der Unterseite müssen vorher gelöst werden. Wer dieser Anleitung folgt, bekommt die Tastatur zwar mit Gewalt raus, hat aber dann sie von der verschraubten Halterung abgerissen.

    Do not pull on the cable. This is a ZIF connector. You will have to unlock the connector before pulling or prying on the cable. Click on the link for instructions on unlocking ZIF connectors .

    • Unlock the ZIF conector before pulling the cable out

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, unscrew the one 5.0mm screw on the back panel.

    This doesn’t disconnect the optical drive, as that’s located on the other side of the laptop. It disconnects the fan assembly.

    Michael Wiseman -

    yes the correct screw to remove for freeing up the optical drive is on the underside of the laptop, not the one shown which is on the wrong side and is under the keyboard?

    • Flip the laptop to its back and the optical drive is located at the top left corner.

    • Remove the optical CD DVD drive by lightly pulling it out of the assembly.

    When you remove the optical drive, you will find two small screws you need to remove as well, in the lip of the optical drive bay

    Arnold Chavers -

    Before removing the optical drive you will need to remove one of the screws on the bottom of the laptop. Assuming you’ve gotten this far, you probably already did that in order to remove the keyboard. If not, then you should just remove all screws from the bottom of the laptop.

    Michael Wiseman -

    The optical drive screw is actually the 1 screw remaining in the center of the back after removing the keyboard.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
