Help w/ screwdriver for upgrading SSD

I have opened my lenovo yoga to upgrade the ssd but don't have a phillips screwdriver small enough for the screws holdingthe metal piece down. I went to radioshack and the smallest they had was 00, which was too big. Ive looked on amazon but am not sure which size I need. It looks like it's measured in mm. Any help? Thanks.

hi gerbila,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
According to page 41 of the hardware maintenance manual, the type of screw on the SSD is a:
You will need a screwdriver like this or similar to remove it.

  • Reload or clone for upgraded SSD?

    I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. I upgraded it to a 128GB SSD a little over a year ago, and now am ready to upgrade it again to a 256GB SSD.
    Couple questions for the masses.
    1: Are there any real benefits of completely reloading the operating system and reloading all my apps, or should I just use Carbon Copy Cloner and be done with it? I know in the Windows world, the OS has a problem with becoming bloated, and a reload will speed it up significantly. I dont know if OSX is like that, or a clone will do the job just fine.
    2: I have the Snow Leopard disc, but all the other upgrades, Lion, Mountain Lion, have all been upgrades through the App store. How could I do a fresh OSX load directly to Mountain Lion when I only have the file for upgrading with.
    Thank you!

    1: OS X by itself doesn't become "bloated", typically. It totally depends on what you did with it, e.g. by installing apps or drivers from "funky" sources but eventually not completely un-installing them etc. If you haven't done so, you should be just fine with cloning.
    2: All of your purchases through the App Store can be downloaded again without paying again under the tab with the same name ("Purchases") with your Apple ID.

    I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • How to find out if my system allows for a SSD upgrade

    Hi,
    I've X1 Carbon that was bought in last december. It says type 3444 - 9FU. 
    I've only 180 GB, I want to know if I could upgrade this to 512GB or more if possible?
    How do I find out if my system will allow this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    X1C model (not the new one, 2014 Gen 2) utilizes Lenovo proprietary connector for SSD drive, named SFF, Small Form Factor. So it's very difficult to find out compatible drive on the market for upgrade except of the purchase it from Lenovo.
    Lenovo x1c drives p/n (FRU) are:
    45N8303 - SSD 256GB 3.7mmH Toshiba SFF Panther-256
    45N8423 - SSD 240GB FDE 3.7mmH Intel SFF Cherry Crest-240 FDE
    45N8483 - SSD 256GB 3.7mmH SanDisk SFF X100-256
    X1C model also supports (PSREF and Lenovo support site mentiones about that capability) halfsized msata SSD in mini pci-e formfactor. Find it on the market and install yourself in addition to your existing SSD. Be attentive, halfsize (not fullsize), mini pci-e (not m.2), msata (not pci). Lenovo doesn't provide p/ns for that msata SSD.
    x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
    x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
    Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • Plz help for upgrading to new OS X Mavericks

    I purchased MacBook Pro in May'11 with Mac OS 10.6.6 installed. Few months back i downloaded DMG file elsewhere for upgrading to10.6.8 and successfully upgraded without loosing any file & other OS i.e. WINDOWS XP. Now i wish to upgrade to new OS X 10.9.2. Plz help me for doing so.

    Thanx for replying, but there is no Apple Store in INDIA, there are  only resellers. I approached the outlet from where i had purchased my  MacBook, but he has refused for update.
    Plz tell me if i can get STANDALONE INSTALLER from "apple.com
    ". I searched for one which updated directly from 10.6.8 (my present OS) to 10.9.2 at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US", but in vain.
    Please let me link from where i can download installer in a PC working on WINDOWS 7 with gud internet speed.
    Regards,

  • Urgent help. I have upgraded my phone but every few hours the apple appears and stays for 15 min an hour or more?

    Urgent help. I have upgraded my phone but every few hours the apple appears and stays for 15 min an hour or more?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Retina//Does Apple upgrades SSD if i pay for it?

    Hi,
    The title speaks for itself as i want to learn weather they upgrade the ssd if i pay its price?
    I also would love to learn about ram also but i dont think they do it as it is soldered to the mb.
    Maybe they upgrade ssd because it is an easy process and i can do it with the owc one.
    i just want to learn if Apple does it and the cost if they do.
    Thanks.

    Only At Purchase TIME. After you have configured the computer and ordered it there are NO upgrades that can be done. Even though is has a removeable bottom Apple deems the Retina as Non Upgradeable.
    Now we will here from someone stating the OWC sells a SSD to upgrade the Retina models. And that is True but in doing so you will VOID ALL Apple Waranties on the system. So basically it is NOT upgradeable.

  • As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgra

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

    You can upgrade to an SSD.
    The simplest method is to use an SSD like the Corsair Force 3 and be sure that you purchase the migration kit.
    The migration kit comes with cloning software and a usb to SATA/power cable that connects to the new SSD. 
    It is recommended that you purchase and SSD that is about 256 GB in capacity if you can find one that is affordable.
    SSD with migration kit options in a search that I did.

    Is IDEAPAD S 10-2 not  compatible for upgradation to Windows 7?
    It's not listed in the compatible group list by Lenovo but Lenovo advises to run the Upgrade Advisor.
    My machine was built in Jul 09. Lenovo site says systems built after Oct 09 support Windows7. As such, is this system not compatible?

  • Upgrade SSD

    Hello~
    I've read another post about the upgrading of the SSD's but I'm still unsure about it.
    Is it possible to upgrade the SSD from 64gb to 128gb on the MacBook Air (mid-2011) on the basic configuartion?
    I've ran out far too quickly on the 64gb and would really love for the extra storage space.
    Could I also get this upgrade via Apple if doing it myself would void the warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    i just recently ugraded my 11" mba 64gb to 180gb from the trustworthy reseller mentioned above OWC
    i am quit happy with my upgraded ssd
    while it does void warranty so you wouldnt be able to take it to apple for servicing,
    you do have to put out a hefty amount of change for even the cheapest one they offer.
    but all their ssds have 3 year warranties plus i can tell you right now it took me 10 mins to install with unscrewing the cover was the longest part of it all.
    if youve replaced any type of memory ram stick on a laptop its the exact same thing just pop out the old pop in the new and done.
    and for me right now i feel it was a great investment which will help the longevity of me not needing a new laptop for a while..
    hope that helps
