Use this guide to replace a faulty motherboard in the Lenovo Thinkpad L440.
The motherboard is responsible for total functionality of the laptop, connecting all parts (screen, keyboard, trackpad, etc.), together, allowing the user to effectively use the device.
Before using this guide, check our troubleshooting page. In some cases, sings of a faulty motherboard can be caused by outdated software or too many background applications. In this case, the motherboard will not have to be replaced.
Signs of a faulty motherboard include a scratching noise or hum, error messages, unexpected restarts, the blue screen, freezes, glitches, or a slow down in performance.
