Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The base cover protects components inside the Lenovo ThinkPad P50s such as the Hard Drive, Motherboard, Thermal Fan, etc.. If you need to access any internal components, or if your base cover is damaged and needs replacing, follow this guide.
Before you begin, disable the built-in battery and remove the micro SIM card if your device has one. Here is a link with instructions on how to do so on page 123. Make sure the laptop is off and disconnect the AC power adapter.
