Removal steps of SIM card

Some models you are servicing might have the SIM card that the customer has installed. If the computer you are servicing has the SIM card installed, remove it before you start the servicing.

To remove the SIM card, you need to remove the battery pack first. See “1010 Battery pack” on page 68.

After you finish the servicing, make sure that you insert the card back into the slot firmly.

1010 Battery pack

Important notice for replacing a battery pack:

The Lenovo Solution Center programprovides an automatic battery diagnostic test that determines if the battery pack is defective. A battery pack FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic test shows that the battery is defective. The only exception to this is if the battery pack is physically damaged or a customer is reporting a possible safety issue.

If the Lenovo Solution Center program is not installed in the computer, the customer should download this program before a non-physically damaged battery pack is replaced. Note that a physically damaged battery pack is not covered by the warranty.
