Lenovo ThinkPad X1 repair

X1 Carbon, X1 Yoga, X1 Nano and X1 Extreme.

About the ThinkPad X1

The X1 line is Lenovo's premium ThinkPad: light, thin and expensive to replace, which makes repair worthwhile. Memory is soldered on the Carbon, Yoga and Nano. The keyboard is part of the top case.

Every repair starts with a free assessment and a fixed price. Nothing is done until you approve it, and repairs carry a 3-month warranty.

ThinkPad X1 repairs

Screens

We replace cracked and faulty ThinkPad X1 screens with a panel matched to the original size, resolution and connector.

Batteries

The battery sits inside the case and is held by screws. We fit the correct part number and check that it charges and reports properly.

Keyboards and trackpads

The keyboard is fixed into the palm rest, so the two are replaced together as a top case. Trackpads are replaced separately.

Charging and power

These charge over USB-C. Worn or damaged ports are replaced on the board, and USB-C charging circuits are repaired at component level.

Motherboard and liquid damage

No power, no display and liquid damage are repaired at component level wherever parts are available, instead of replacing the whole board.

Upgrades

Memory is soldered on many ThinkPad X1 models, but the SSD is usually replaceable. We check your exact model before quoting.

Sending your ThinkPad X1

On the base you will find the model name and a machine type. ThinkPads show a type such as "20W0" or "21HD". IdeaPad, Yoga and Legion models show a code such as "82H8" beside a name like "IdeaPad 3 15ITL6". Send us that with a description of the fault and we reply with a price, normally the same working day.

We collect by insured courier from anywhere in the UK. See how the courier service works and how to pack your laptop.

Common questions

Can you repair several X1 Carbon laptops for a business?

Yes. Tell us how many and what is wrong with each, and we arrange one collection. Company laptops are usually encrypted, so ask your IT department for the BitLocker recovery key first.

Will a repair affect the data or the company set-up?

No. We do not wipe or reinstall anything without asking. Most hardware repairs leave Windows and your files exactly as they were.

Get a price from a technician

Tell us the make, the model and what has gone wrong. A technician replies with a price and the quickest way to get your laptop to us – normally the same working day.
