日本How to open Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (16″, 2023) – disassembly and upgrade options

1. Remove the bottom plate
Here, you need to undo 10 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool. Be careful around the side vents, as you need to pop your tool at 90 degrees.
2. Remove the battery
Inside, we find a 99.9Wh battery pack. To continue, remove the two SSD coolers. Then, undo the six Phillips head screws, and unplug the battery connector.
3. Upgrade memory and storage
The memory slots are hidden beneath a metal bracket. Remove it, to access the two DDR5 SODIMMs. They work with 4800MHz and 5600MHz memory modules, and support 6000MHz overclocked RAM. As for storage, you get two M.2 PCIe x4 slots for Gen 4 SSDs.
4. Cooling system
Perhaps the most impressive thing on the inside is cooling. It comprises a thick vapor chamber, four heat sinks, and two large fans.

I can’t decide if the photos are completely, or just slightly, useless. Not even poorly drawn arrows explaining what “you need to pop your tool at 90 degrees” could possibly mean. I really hate YouTube… Thanks anyway, I guess?
