Lenovo ThinkPad T410s Disassembly
Today, I will dismantle ThinkPad T410s to help you know the structure and workmanship of ThinkPad T410s. We believe that the dismantling to reveal a product’s internal work seems more attractive to users, and it can tell what we usually cannot see, and users will have a more in-depth understanding of T410s.

T410s and T400s maintained a consistent style.
T410s and T400s’s general styles are still close, but some layouts have changed. The most intuitive is the change of the interface position. ThinkPad T410s supports a Core-i5 processor, integrated graphics, and discrete graphics switch mode.
ThinkPad T410s inherited the large-sized ESC and DELETE keys.
We have to remove the drive with both hands.
The laptop features a hard disk, optical drive, memory, wireless LAN expansion, and upgrade capacity.
First, dismantle the ThinkPad T410s keyboard.
Remove the keyboard.
The keyboard’s bottom side is covered with plastic to prevent water.
The PCB of the pointing stick is protected by metal.

Third, separation of the screen is the key to dismantling the Lenovo ThinkPad T410s.
Only to separate the screen from the laptop can we demolish the motherboard.

Hi, thanks for all the pictures! Unfortunately you missed the only part I am interested in: the SPI flash chip hosting the firmware but it is probably the SOIC package with 8 pins “behind” the DIMM slots, the one with the orange dot. I am only interested in its position so I am fine with the existing pictures, thanks again!
And that’s easily accessible via the memory and minipcie hatch actually, great.
Hello,
I have a Thinkpad T410, and I’ve disassembled it to use it as a file server in a case (desktop), everything is working properly and no problem except the power button. Since the power button is placed on the keyboard package, and all the functions of that package is connected to the board through one cable, I can’t figure out which node on the board is responsible for the power on/off. How can I figure that out? So I can add a power button to the system without using the keyboard package.
Thanks
Please search the circuit diagram of ThinkPad on google.com, you can find it from circuit diagram.
great article! thanks!
