Einleitung

If your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2nd Gen) won’t turn on or last the full battery life, use this guide to replace the battery.

The battery stores the energy for your computer.

Before using this guide, check that your computer has been charged in a reliable outlet by trying multiple outlets. Also, try using multiple charging cords to make sure your cord isn’t broken.

Before you begin, make sure your computer is off and unplugged.

    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the seven 7mm screws holding the back cover onto your computer.

    • Using your fingers, disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew the five 4.3mm screws attaching the battery to the computer.

  5. GimPoGZyG5lmmcYT

    • Remove the battery by pulling it directly towards you.

    Before installing the new battery, the attached cables connecting it to the board need to be bent or kinked in a similar manner to how the old battery’s cables were. I looked at the old battery’s cables for an idea of how to bend the new cables.

    Also, I saw how the old battery had some very thin foam attached to the battery (as seen in the photos), and that the replacement iFixit battery didn’t have such foam. I couldn’t figure out a way to remove the foam from the old battery without destroying it, so I went ahead and installed the new battery without it.

iFixit replacement battery is rejected by X1 Carbon gen2 chassis as not-genuine/unauthorized. Is there some additional step to getting the battery to be recognized/allowed? Something in the BIOS? Or is the battery faulty?
