Perfect! I have the 15ABA7 and this process was exactly the same for mine. I'd got the back cover off, but had no idea that ram cover was removable. You've saved me a lot of time with this :)

Thanks for this. Planning on replacing the RAM myself since laptop services here charge an enormous fee for replacing ram.

It was very helpful I did upgrade my ram to 12 Gigs Thank you so much

Hello James, thank you so much for the great work. Could you make another videos for adding another 2.5 inch SSD to this laptop?

great work !

Great video, helped me a lot.

This was tremendously helpful. TYSM

Thanks. This also applied to my IdeaPad 3 15ALC6. I could not figure out where the ram slot was. Its been a while since I opened up a laptop, first time I've seen it with some sort of protective cover. I thought it was the soldered RAM. Also, other videos and guides for my model threw me off- showed a different motherboard for some reason. So I guess there are variations within the 15ALC6 models.

great video!

Thanks, very useful :)

A good, clear tutorial. Please advise on whether RAM addition makes the total dual core. Also please recommend a tutorial for using a SATA SSD alongside the NVMe.

Thajnks for mentioning the 2.5" drive bay and needed cable addition. I still avoid models that have 'RAM soldered to mainboard'.

Thanks. This helped alot

Guru, many thanks for the video clip you produced here. This one is good for me to do some reset job if the power-button is not working to de-attached the power-cable in mainboard + battery set here. 14ABA7 Lenovo Idea-PAD used by me now.

Thanks for the video. I installed a Crucial CT1000P2SSD8 and the Windows 10 install CD does not recognize the drive. Any idea where to get the *.INF files to install the needed drivers?

Thank you

What is the plastic pen looking tool called that you disconnected the battery with?

Great Vids man, but what is the name of the cable you need for the drive area?

Any idea if this model suffers from the hinge failure (plastic body cracking) that other Lenovo models suffer from? YT shows stacks of videos of failed hinges / bodywork but they are for previous models.

Hey James, thanks for the great tutorial. I have just purchased one of these laptops and using your recommendations above have upgraded it. You mention adding a 2.5 inch SSD to this laptop with a SATA cable. What type of cable would I need to do this and is it as simple to do as the other upgrades in this video? Thanks

Hi Norbert, you'll find the connection point (a small clip) near the top left screw hole where the battery sits. Ideally you don't want to clamp the cable under the battery. Instead the ribbon cable should sit above the battery and if needed be taped down. Hope this helps.

He mentions the 2.5" drive bay and that we'd need to order the Lenovo SATA cable. This would be an SSD, and this makes this computer more usable - having a secondary storage device seems the best option. But for me, the soldered-on-RAM is a deal breaker.
