Frequently asked questions about E480 parts
Do parts from the ThinkPad E485, E490, E495 or L480 fit the E480?
Largely yes for the E485 / E490 / E495 - they share nearly all mechanical parts with the E480 (cases, keyboard, palmrest, hinges), as shown by common FRU numbers. Match the motherboard strictly by FRU number regardless. The L480 is a separate design of the same generation (business line) - some parts are similar but not a 1:1 match.
What battery does the E480 have and which one to choose?
We currently do not stock a main cell for the E480 - ask us if you need one. A CMOS battery backing up the BIOS settings is available (the CMOS batteries section above) - choose it by FRU number.
Which keyboard fits the E480?
The E480 came in several keyboard variants (different language layouts and FRU versions) - choose the one matching your layout (e.g. QWERTY US/UK) from the Palmrest, keyboard, touchpad section above, ideally comparing the FRU number.
Which palmrest fits the E480?
The palmrest comes in several finishes - black plastic and aluminum (black or silver). Choose the variant matching your laptop's case color from the Palmrest, keyboard, touchpad section above.
Which motherboard and charger fit the E480?
We currently do not stock a motherboard or a charger for the E480 - ask us with your configuration (processor, RAM, any dedicated graphics card) and we will look for a matching part.
Which LCD display cable should I choose for the E480?
We currently do not stock the LCD display cable itself for the E480 - related cables (camera, touchpad, fingerprint reader, I/O) are available in the Display, cables and hinges section above. Ask us about the LCD cable if you need one.
How do I check the FRU number of an E480 part?
The FRU number (Part Number) is printed on the component itself - on the keyboard, palmrest, case or speakers. It is the most reliable way to choose. We described how to read it in our guide How to read a Lenovo FRU number.
Which E480 parts are replaced most often?
The most frequently replaced are the keyboard, palmrest, fan and display hinges. You will find all these items in the list above with their FRU numbers.
