Introduction

Use this guide to replace the battery in your Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H gaming laptop.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Tools

Parts

Step 1

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the following ten screws securing the back cover to frame:
Six 12.7 mm PH00 screws
Four 4.2 mm PH00 screws

Step 2

Insert the rounded edge of an opening pick between the back cover and the frame in the lower right corner.

Step 3

Angle the pick to about 45˚.
Slide the pick along the front edge to release the clips securing the back cover to the frame.

Step 4

Insert the rounded edge of an opening pick between the back cover and the frame on the right edge.
Angle the pick to about 30˚ and slide down the right edge until you reach the plastic vents on the side.

Step 5

Repeat the same procedure on the left edge to release the clips.

Step 6

Position the laptop vertically so you can easily access the plastic vents.
Slide the rounded edge of an opening pick between the frame and the plastic vents on the right side near the USB-A port.
Rotate the pick so that it is positioned on top of the plastic vents.

Step 7

Push the pick between the frame and plastic vents.
Slide the pick along the top edge of the plastic vents to release the clips.

Step 8

Slide the rounded edge of an opening pick between the frame and the plastic vents on the left side near the USB-C port.
Rotate the pick so that it is positioned on top of the plastic vents.

Step 9

Push the pick between the frame and plastic vents.
Slide the pick along the top edge of the plastic vents to release the clips.

Step 10

Lift the back cover up and remove it from the chassis.
During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

Step 11

Use the pointed end of a spudger to push each side of the battery connector to loosen it.

Step 12

Use the flat end of a spudger to push out and disconnect battery cable.

Step 13

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three 5.1 mm PH00 screws securing the right SSD shield to the motherboard.
During reassembly, make sure the hole on the top of the shield aligns with the post on the chassis.

Step 14

Grab the SSD shield and lift up to remove it.

Step 15

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2.6 mm PH1 screw securing the SSD to the motherboard.
The SSD will spring up to about 30˚ when the screw is removed.

Step 16

Grip the edges of the SSD near the screw indent.
Gently pull to remove the SSD.

Step 17

Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the six 5.1 mm-long screws securing the battery.

Step 18

Remove the battery from its recess.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery after completing this guide.

Thank you very much for the guide! This is the most expensive notebook I've disassembled yet, and I'm so grateful for your guide because this is the first notebook I was able to disassemble without breaking any tabs! Also the iFixit toolkit is the very best tool I've ever owned!
