It certainly can be done in the field. It is not considered customer-replaceable, so doing it yourself may affect your warranty status. I have no direct experience related to the cost on that particular model, but in general, it is usually cheaper to find a buyer for your machine and buying a different one. You might be able to work out an exchange with a Lenovo dealer, but again, I have no experience doing that.

I do not respond to requests for private, one-on-one help. Your questions should be posted in the appropriate forum where they may help others as well.
If a response answers your question, please mark it as the accepted solution.
I am not an employee or agent of Lenovo.
