Thank you for the post! My laptop battery is totally dead, not charging at all at 0%, so I cannot disable the built-in battery. Since it immediately dies if unplugged, the built-in battery is automatically enabled while it’s turned on and plugged. Can I just let it unplugged and proceed?
You should still be able to access BIOS with the laptop plugged into its charger to disable the battery before unplugging it and removing it. However, if that does not work, just be careful not to bridge any of the pins the battery connects to on the motherboard and everything should still be fine.
The X1 g.7 has a known bug where internal battery stops working (won’t charge, or says battery not detected in windows). I have personally solved this problem on 4-5 laptops by disconnecting the battery (follow this guide until step 4) and then plugging it back in after ten seconds. In 90% of the cases this has solved the problem without battery replacement.
Yeah it's a hardware connection issue at least in my case. A light kick to the back of the laptop also works usually.
Thanks! This has been very helpful. Just followed the steps until removing the battery connector and putting it back. Issue sorted!

Just personally came across this issue on my son's laptop - your comment was a lifesaver
Opened up the X1 using the iFixit instructions and noted that the battery connector was not seated properly
I completely disconnected the connector, waited and then seated it back fully
Everything works now
We don't know how that connected would come loose like that though...not sure if it's going to happen again as the laptop gets jostled around in his backpack around campus

After replacing battery in X1 Gen 7 battery indicator shows 100% (laptop plugged-in) and Lenovo recalibration function stays forever in Step 2 (drain battery down). If I unplug laptop, it immediately goes dark as if it has no battery and won’t boot. Plugging it in again and powering up everything works fine. In short, works when plugged in and doesn’t work when unplugged despite diagnostic saying battery is good. Any suggestions? Thanks.
You are my hero! I could not figure out how to disconnect the motherboard connector of the battery. After your instruction I could. Saved me $50 easily!!
I am trying to replace the keyboard which unlike some other x390 cannot be removed from the front. Do you have a video that explains this step by step like removing the battery, motherboard and then the keyboard?
Excellent guide, this made it easy.
The only thing I struggled with a bit was to reconnect the battery cable. You have to do exactly the reverse of step 5: first fasten the part of the battery cable connector that has the cables connected to it (= the part the closest to the battery), so the black cable connector is tilted slightly. Then gently push the other (titled) part down until it clicks. Ensure the connector is fixed before re-assembling the back cover.
