What an awful piece of "Technology Progress"... argghhh. I very gently opened the bottom as you described and still many of the plastic retainers broke... WHY JUST WHY are they producing crap like this? Then the next bummer a full size M.2 SSD with chips on both sides does not fit in the slot! Only built for single sided modules! WTF? And then only 2 USB Ports when the power brick is connected, one even only USB2... In 2021? Incredible!
Can only second that. I hate this disgusting plastic clips trend in pretty much anything nowadays. The chances that you break something is pretty much something like 80% lol
Almost all brand-name SSD are single sided, so, it's more of an issue with the cheap (Sabrent?) drive than the box. For the rest ― I totally agree! So annoying that they keep limiting the upgrade potential. The laptops a few years ago supported 64GB SODIMM, now it's only 40GB SODIMM max!
Where is the cmos battery located on this laptop? If it is absent of one, is there any way to reset the bios? I have an e14 gen 2 my gf lost a note she made with the password and recovery key. I attempted a password reset but with the bios password protected. She failed to write down the bitlocker recovery key as well, so this is looking like a brick… any help?
You can see a cmos battery on this video at 2:25 in the right part - circle battery, connected to the motherboard with a wire. It is under the laptop battery, so you need to remove the laptop battery first.
이 제품은 배터리 문제가 생기면 ac를 연결해도 켜지지 않나요? 어느날 켜지지 않아서 배터리를 분리해보니 전원은 켜집니다. 다만, cpu가 가장 낮은 배수로만 작동합니다. 배터리가 없이 AC전원만 연결하면 성능 제한이 걸리는지, 나의 제품이 문제인지 모르겠습니다. 배터리를 분해 후, 각 셀의 전압을 체크해보니 2.6V로 망가져있었습니다. 각 셀마다 별도로 충전을 했지만 보호회로가 잠겼는지 전압이 나오지 않는다. 다만, 배터리 연결하고 ac전원을 연결하면 배터리 잔량이 부족하다는 메시지가 나오고 꺼집니다(그 전까지는 배터리 연결상태에서는 ac전원을 연결해도 파워스위치의 led가 2초간 켜지고 바로 꺼져버렸다)
Thanks for the video, i have one question can i use the kingston memory ddr4 sodimm 2666 part number KVR26S19S8/16 for the Lenovo Thinkpad E14 (Intel version)?
@@justhowoftendoyousleep you see those two metal squares/rectangles which where under there ? They're the cpu and gpu/apu. So thats your cpu its soldered to the board.
1 fan
2 heat pipes
1 ram slot max 32gb of 3200mhz ***
2 storage m.2 pci (1 size 80 millimeters can added, 1 size 42 millimeters) ***
1 battery 45 watt
45w battery? That can be upgraded?
this channel is great when looking to purchase a laptop

I broke at least five or six, and I was prying pretty gentle. Hate builds like this.
