[PIC] Lenovo Identity Label replacement Help

#1 Post by GrifterGuru » Sat Oct 06, 2018 7:06 am

As per the title, I am about to embark on replacing the lower plastic chassis on my T420 and have hit a snag... The new outer plastic chassis is sold without the identity label.

My question is this: Can I acquire a replacement identity label, or is it a case of "Get the hairdryer out and transplant the original"??

For those wondering what I am on about please see the pic below. The label is located (usually) within the Red box outline, pointed out by the red arrow..

My apologies to members for the tiny (READ: USELESS!!) size of the image, but the forum rule of 50kb being as it is, this is the only size I can post to guarantee said image is not removed!

I "transplanted" many A30p/31p labels back in the days when I was refurbishing them.

A gentle application of either a hair dryer or a hot air workstation should suffice.

Regards.

That is my "last resort" option...

I was hoping I could acquire a replacement new label....
