What part do you need?
When searching for parts for Lenovo laptops it can sometimes be quite difficult to figure out the correct part number, especially when there are alternate and substitute parts out there.
Lenovo spare parts are often labelled with their part number, usually referred to as the FRU. If you have physical access to the part inside the machine the easiest way to identify the part number required is to check this label.
If you do not have access or are uncomfortable taking the machine apart the next step is to consult any documentation for your laptop. This can take the form of paper manuals or electronic information on Lenovo’s website.
If you are unable to identify the Lenovo spare parts you need you can contact Lenovo directly. It is useful to have your machine model number and serial to hand as this will speed up this process.
Once you know what the part number is you will then be able to find it on our website via the search bar or going through the categories in the laptops spares section.
Is it better to buy new or refurbished Lenovo laptop parts?
If your highest priority is reliability and longevity of the laptop then new Lenovo spare parts are likely to be the better choice. Refurbished laptop plastics such as the base cover are likely to have suffered some cosmetic damage so if you need the machine to look new then new replacements will be required.
The advantage of refurbished Lenovo laptop parts is often the price. They are likely to be cheaper than new Lenovo spares so may be a better option when working with a more limited budget.
There is also the issue of availability. New parts of Lenovo laptops are likely to be available for newer models, however they may have been discontinued for older machines. In this case refurbished Lenovo spares may be your only option when repairing a machine.
Cost Savings
Repairing your Lenovo laptop may be considerably cheaper than replacing the whole machine. A lot of problems with a laptop can be the result of failure in a single component than can usually be replaced. Almost all Lenovo spare parts have a replacement part number making them easier to source.
As well as repairing your machine potentially saving you money it can also reduce your environmental footprint. The manufacture and transportation of a single Lenovo laptop part is likely to be considerably less than that of a new machine and will also generate much less e-waste when disposed of.
Common Lenovo laptop replacement parts
Cables- Sometimes cables will be included with Lenovo spare parts such as a sub board, on other occasions they are sold separately so it is important to check.
Casing/plastics- This includes the base cover and palmrest. Sometimes the screen bezel and rear cover are purchased separately, on other occasions they will be part of a screen assembly with the screen itself.

The different heatsinks with have different Lenovo spares part numbers so you will need to check the one required.

Can I replace Lenovo laptop parts myself?
Before considering any repair we suggest checking whether the laptop is still in warranty. The warranty may cover not just the cost of the labour but the cost of the Lenovo spares themselves. If you wish to carry out any repairs or disassemble the laptop at all during the warranty period, we recommend contacting Lenovo to find out if this will invalidate the terms of the warranty.
Replacing Lenovo laptop parts can vary massively in difficulty. In the case of a battery it may just involve releasing a catch to remove the old one and pushing the new battery into place. Replacing other parts such as the system board may involve taking most of the laptop apart.
Whilst any part can be replaced at home it is important to remember that any work has the potential to damage the laptop if carried out incorrectly. We recommend contacting an IT Technician or similar if you are not confident in undertaking the work yourself.
