Thanks for the vid, I actually got mine open (T460) without removing that slot (pretty sure it's a SIM card reader). Mine was missing the battery plate so that sucked
@Lucky Vagabond yeah the part the sucked was not having screws lol but I got some so all good Also wish I had a placeholder for the external battery but oh well
I'm struggling with cash and need a laptop to get back in to work, got a video idea for you. film shopping 2nd hand laptops, buying a few. breakdown, clean and upgrade them. focusing on unique laptops like this lenovo (having a 2nd internal battery) also Microsoft Surface pro eventually I hope to setup a business that locally refurbishes computers for sale at good prices for those among us who cant afford thousand dollar devices. would really appreciate your feedback ❤
I've been in the refurbishing business before and the margins are very small. It's not worth the effort. Very few people want older laptops, so demand is low. You're better off stripping broken laptops and selling the parts. You won't lose money refurbishing laptops, but you just won't make much considering your time. Good luck.
Thanks for the video. My situation is a little different. I bought a refurbished t470 last year. It came with Windows 10 Pro. It has both batteries but I can't get it to see the internal battery. I replaced it. Still then nuked Windows and installed Linux Mint Cinnamon. I replaced the internal battery, but it still doesn't see it. I must be missing something probably obvious. I love this little rig for writing, email, and surfing the web.
@@LuckyVagabond I did update the bios. There was a new one that was released in late June. I also bought a new internal battery thinking maybe it was defective. I'm wondering if the company that refurbished it dismantled a connection or flipped a switch I haven't found yet... the fun continues.
whenever i charge the pc it seems like only the internal battery get to charge ; the exterior one always remains at 5% is there a way i can select which to be recharged ?

Thanks for the comment. You don't need the battery filler, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

@@anonnomous6223 do you only have an internal battery? No external battery?
@Lucky Vagabond I got a refurbished one online and it only had the battery that plugs in back by the hinges, no internal battery

oh yeah, this will benefit you too, resale value will have %80 mark up after refurbishment

Have you tried updating the BIOS?

@MissMuffin-qc8fc Thanks! I’ll check!
Dont happen to know if this is compatible with the P51s? This comes up when I do a search for it but doesnt list it as working with the P51s.
No, sorry, the P51s uses a different internal battery, part number 01AV493.
whenever i charge the pc it seems like only the internal battery get to charge ; the exterior one always remains at 5% is there a way i can select which to be recharged ?
No, unfortunately. Have you tried updating the BIOS?
Which battery did you use
OE battery I bought from Ebay. I find the OE batteries, even used ones, are better than garbage aftermarket batteries.
which screwdriver did you used to open t460?
Electronics screw driver set from Harbor Freight.
@@LuckyVagabond I mean PH0, PH1 or PH2 ?? Which one did you use
what is the Lenovo part number for the battery you replaced?
45N1112 or 45N1113. Either will work.
En cuál tienda online puedo conseguir esa misma batería?
I bought it on Ebay
Aliexpress or Amazon has aftermarket batteries too, but I only buy original batteries from Ebay.
@@LuckyVagabond Me podría ayudar tal vez con el link de publicación?
can hp work
Not sure what you mean?
