Introduction

This guide will show you how to remove the Bottom Panel on your, Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1. Using this guide will allow you access to the inside of your Lenovo ThinkPad for further repairs.

Before working on this guide be sure to turn off your computer completely and make sure you are working in a clear space. Working in a cluttered area could cause issues or be potentially dangerous. Since you are going to be inside of the computer where cables, circuits, and other equipment lie, if you were to spill anything or have something in the way it could end badly for not just the computer but most importantly you.

Be careful when using any sharp tools like a screwdriver around the battery. Puncturing the battery itself could be a fire hazard.
