Lenovo ThinkPad T410s Disassembly

Today, I will help you understand the structure and workmanship of ThinkPad T410s by disassembling it.

T410s and T400s maintained a consistent style.

The general styles of the T410s and T400s are still similar, but some layouts have changed. The most intuitive change is the change in the interface position. The ThinkPad T410s supports a Core-i5 processor, integrated graphics, and discrete graphics switch mode.

  1. Hi, thanks for all the pictures! Unfortunately, you missed the only part I am interested in: the SPI flash chip hosting the firmware. 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!

  2. 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 there is no problem except for the power button. Since the power button is placed on the keyboard package, and all the functions of that package are 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
