日本How to open Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon (13″, 2022) – disassembly and upgrade options

1. Remove the bottom plate
To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo 6 Torx-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.
2. Remove the battery
Inside, there is a 50Wh battery pack. It lasts for more than 9 hours of Web browsing, or nearly 8 hours of video playback. To take it out, undo 5 Phillips-head screws and unplug the connector from the motherboard. Don’t be scared of the resistance – there is some tape that keeps the cables beneath the battery from dangling.
3. Upgrade memory and storage
Here, the memory comes soldered to the motherboard. The maximum available configuration has 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, working at 4800MHz. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for Gen 4 SSDs. It fits 42 and 80-mm drives.
4. Cooling system
As you can see, there is one heat pipe, a heat sink, a fan taking care of the CPU, and a heat spreader meant for the VRMs.
