Great info! Can you confirm the form factor of the hard drive? I see Seagate ultrathin so I assume 2.5″ 5mm. Just to be *really* sure before buying one. Thanks.
What type of screwdriver did you use to remove the back panel of the laptop?
hi
it’s a torx #5 screwdriver (it is star-shaped)

Bought Yoga 2 11 which appears to have a Broadcom wireless card, which is junk; get two bars, disconnects, etc.
I read where the card MUST be FCC, and that warranty is voided if something messes up. …..
Amazon sells cards for about $33 bucks.
Q: What cards are compatible with the Yoga 2 11?
Q: Where can you find the Lenovo whitelist?
Q: Are their bios issues or other concerns, or is it just install, load drivers…and finally, get the connections I thought I already paid for when I bought the dang machine!?
Thanks for your inputs.
i think you should contact lenovo about this question

Yoga 2 11 I3 – 4012Y mb 5B20G04871. I spilled wine on kb! Cannot type on kb. Touch pad ok. I can use external microsoft kb for basic data entry. But some weird stuff.
1. Wine did not help. Is there a kb component that I can replace or does the whole mb have to go?
2. Your demo looks good. But what do I need to do after reassemble? Do I have to run any sw? Is bios upgrade needed? Do I need to swap any parts from old to new mb?
3. This Yoga also has a D drive 25Gb. Is this storage for factory restore? I might try it if all else fails. How to I access it?
I have mostly worked on PCs but I have the tools and the nads to dive in here . But I dont have any experience on the Yoga. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
tnx
