TPt battery change

[m_danm]

Hi,

Does anybody know where can i buy a new battery for my tpt? Can someone recommend a battery type? Does lenovo sell tpt batteries?

The battery is integrated; there is no way to buy or change it yourself. You'll have to send your TPT to your local service centre and tell them why you want it changed.

Check whether the warranty covers the need for a battery change first. Changing the battery is fairly easy provided you're prepared to open up the TPT yourself.  FRU numbers from HMM sticky are;

42T4963

42T4965

Some sources;

AFAIK, Lenovo also sells them, try this phone number;

1-800-388-7080

Besides the HMM for removal/installation instructions, there are also the Lenovo FRU service videos;

No way in hell I'll be sending in my tablet for something as trivial as that if it's out of warranty.
