Loosen six screws from the bottom case.
Flip over the laptop and remove the keyboard.
I have been more like the removable keyboard, replace and clean the keyboard are more convenient.

Use the blade to release the buckle next to the battery compartment.
After removing the bottom case, you can get access to the internal battery, hard drive, SSD, RAM, Wi-Fi card, speaker, cooling fan and motherboard.
The SSD, RAM, Wi-Fi card is covering with black graphite sticker, and It can rejection of heat, dust prevention, prevent signal interference and so on.
Remove two screws securing the speaker module.
Disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.
The built-in battery manufactured by Panasonic, 11.55V, 24wh, 2080mAh; external battery is 11.4V, 24wh, 1950mAh.

Does your Samsung SSD is mSATA or M.2?
its SAMSUNG 850 EVO 1TB mini-SATA.
The mSATA SSD can not work on M.2 slot.
which ssd can work ? and what is the highest capacity can i put in ?
Plextor M7VS 128G M.2 2242, Plextor M6G 128G M.2 2242, Transcend MTS400 256G M.2 2242.
Because the M.2 2242 SSD is very rarely, so I suggest buy a SSD adapter to install the M.2 2280 SSD.
Hi,
Have one query on your reply.
Will 2280 fit in 2242 slot using any adapter?
If yes, can you please guide with any link
Hi, Only 2242 SSD can bel work on Thinkpad T470.

My Current T470

Plan to add

Yes, your plan is good.
Hi Michael – I have a question… and REALLY hope you can help!
I have a T470.. it has an M.2 256GB 2242
How can I use “normal” SATAIII HDD in the slot? Is there an adapter available?
If you install a M.2 2280 SSD, you need a adapter which is available on ebay.com.
