Lenovo ThinkPad L470 Repair

The Lenovo ThinkPad L470 is a 14-inch laptop intended for school and office use. It retains the classic ThinkPad design—matte-black finish with red-accented TrackPoint—and emphasizes durability, serviceability, and a full-size keyboard. It was marketed as a lower-cost option within Lenovo’s business lineup.

The L470 uses a matte-black polycarbonate/ABS chassis, a spill-resistant six-row keyboard with TrackPoint and dedicated buttons, and a clickpad/trackpad. Typical configurations include Intel Core processors from its release period, user-replaceable memory and storage, and a range of ports (USB, video out, Ethernet). Many units support a mechanical docking connector for external displays and peripherals.

Within Lenovo’s lineup, the L470 sits below the T-series while sharing several design elements, such as the keyboard layout and docking support. Common identification cues include the “ThinkPad” wordmark with a red LED over the “i,” “L470” labeling on the bottom cover, and a product label with model and serial numbers. For configuration details (CPU, graphics, display, and ports), consult Lenovo’s Product Specifications Reference (PSREF) for the exact sub-model.Identification
