Found exactly what i was looking for, i really like how you actually explain how and what to do unlike the other channels, also wanted to ask how to unplug the battery cuz i know you dont have to but i really dont want to accidentaly short a circuit in a also new laptop

Thanks for watching honestly I never unplug the battery when upgrading ram and SSD’s but I understand your concern but I advise being careful when doing so it’s usually a small ribbon cable that has a latch connected to the motherboard that needs to flipped up to remove the cable. Just imagine damaging that connection now your laptop won’t charge then you have a laptop that has to be plugged in at all times. But search KZread for “ Lenovo loq 15APH8 Teardown “ good luck let me know how it goes.

Yea gen4 is supported and it can handle whatever you threw in there.
OMFG, i wanted to place my 2tb WD m2 from my PS5 in this laptop.... i thought... it doesn't fit, i'm not gonna swap the original right now. And now i see your video it has an additional slot ffs. i just closed up everything. Now the last question before i open everything up again, does an m2 fit with a heatsink? i'm not sure if i can take it off of the WD one in the playstation...

Not sure sometimes those heatsink's over m.2 can be thick the only way is to try it out. But m.2 SSD's are super cheap and hopefully you live near a microcenter. Worst case scenario grab a new one. This laptop is nice I'm loving it!!!!! Let me know how it goes
would this ssd work Crucial P3 2TB CT2000P3SSD8 PCIe 3.0, 3D NAND, NVMe, M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s

@@erik-thespitz1776 you might face a battery drain issue i.e the battery level decreases even when it's plugged. just call up lenovo and they'll probably upgrade your adapter from 170w to 230w and that should take care of that if you ever face the issue.
Is there a limit to how much storage size you can put in there or you can put 2 2tb nvmes?

Not sure if it can handle 64gb but for sure 32 gb go ahead and max out so you don’t have to keep opening the laptop.

Don’t think you can change your graphics card on a laptop. It’s more than likely soldered to the motherboard. You can buy an external gpu. My graphics is nvidia RTX 3050

I hope you used the correct size screwdriver and not stripped the screws. worst case scenario use some needle nose pliers and grab the outer edge of the screw and turn left or use a very small amount of WD40 . It really should of just come off strange!!!!!!

Microcenter brand called inland it’s cheap and works well but if you have the cash go with a Samsung evo ssd.
Tedious? Watching this vid is a bit tedious, my man. Nearly 4.5 minutes before even turning a screw, and over 10 minutes until the back cover is removed is just taking way too long - way too long to get to the point, IMO. I'm not trying to knock your efforts; rather I'm trying to give your some constructive critisisn. Otherwise, good job on showing what one can do to updgrade this stores of laptop. ☺️
