The Lenovo Miix 510 with a 6th-generation Intel® Core™ i5-6200u processor (including the Intel HD 520 graphics card) and up to 8GB of RAM. It is comes with a Samsung 256GB NVMe SSD. The stereo speakers with Dolby® Audio™ can fill a small hall with clear audio.
The Miix 510’s 2MP front-facing camera is good enough for video conferencing, but the 5MP snapper on the back disappoints a bit due to its grainy images. This shouldn’t be a concern as most people don’t use a tablet to take photos.
The tablet will have a USB Type-C and a USB 3.0 port, in addition to a Micro SIM slot and an audio combo jack.
Remove all screws securing the bottom plate.
Turn over the laptop.
Insert a pick under the display to separate the display from the laptop.
Slide the pick along the display edge. You will be able to remove the display.
Remove the display assembly.
If the screen is damaged, do not be afraid. Replace the screen is very simple.
With the display assembly removed, you can get access to the battery, SSD, wireless card, speaker, CMOS battery, heat sink and cooling fan.
Lithium polymer battery, there are gaps around the battery. It can hold a larger capacity battery.
The RAM is soldering on the motherboard, so you cannot upgrade the RAM.
The M.2 SSD can be replaced, but it is covering with heat sink, if you upgrade the SSD, you need to remove the heat sink/cooling fan module.
The replacement parts of the Lenovo Miix 510 can be found in our parts store.
Hello!
I want to upgrade my ssd.
is removing the heatsink/cooling fan tricky or it is straightforward?
Thanks for any advices!
yes! after remove the heat sink and cooling fan, you can get access to the SSD.
will I get full speed of the Samsung 960 pro if I put I in this computer or is the m.2 ssd based on sata or slower than the Samsung. Basically, what is the fastest ssd I can get for it?
Is it possible to change/upgrade the CPU, or is it soldered onto the mainbord, too ?
Which CPU is possible (max.) ? Socket 1151, Skylake ?
The CPU is soldered on the motherboard, so you cannot upgrade it.
Hi!
Does anyone know where can i find the screen parts (touch screen)?
please try to search it on ebay.com
Is it possible to change the USB3.0-port?
Interesting post. This tablet seems much better designed internally than the Surface. Tried replacing the LCD on one of those, and it was a nightmare to open (glued all the way, stuff held in place with flimsy tin foil, antennas are almost guaranteed to be broken during disassembly etc.). So no more Surfaces for me 🙂
