    • Unplug the two-wire connector from the motherboard by gently pulling it towards the battery.

    • Pull parallel to the battery, not straight up.

    Make sure to pull only the white part. I had some difficulty disconnecting mine and got confused, thinking I was doing the wrong thing.

    My replacement battery didn’t come with a replacement black tape tab.

which replacement modules would you recommend? I am looking for alternatives to the 8260 that seems to be flawed.

I have now replaced my Wifi-Card and just wanted to point that you instructions diverge from the official ones suggested by Lenovo. This manual simply recommends to deactivate the internal batteries through a bios option - which seems easier than the instructions laid out here.

still, cheers for your guide.
