Use this guide to remove the Motherboard from the Lenovo IdeaPad 130-15AST. The motherboard of your computer is a giant circuit board inside of your desktop or laptop computer. Between all the components run silver lines of conductive metal, "wires' fused directly to the motherboard's insulating plastic. The conductors sometimes break or melt; or a component that cannot be easily removed burns out. This could happen as a result of a power surge due, a lightning strike, or because of a manufacturing defect. With those results you will need to replace your motherboard. Follow the steps in the Replacement Guide carefully to remove the motherboard safely and efficiently.
