Introduction

If your laptop won't connect to Wi-Fi, the issue could be because of a damaged or broken Wi-Fi card. This guide will cover the replacement of the Wi-Fi card in the Lenovo Thinkpad T495.

    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to loosen the six captive screws.

    • The screws will stay attached to the back cover as you lift it off; do not attempt to remove them.

  2. JjXMsWIdvZBR5kdW

    • Use an iFixit opening tool to start prying under one of the hinges, between the baseplate and chassis, and work your way around the perimeter until the baseplate releases.

    • Lift off the baseplate.

    It gets easier (or necessary, idk) if you remove the SIM card slot first.
