In short: in a Lenovo ThinkPad L480 you can replace many components - the keyboard, palmrest, LCD cable, WWAN/WLAN antennas, cases and the fan. The most reliable way to match the right part is the FRU / Part Number printed on the original component. We confirm model compatibility against the official Lenovo Hardware Maintenance Manual and the laptop's As-Built number, so each part lists verified compatible models and replacement numbers.

Frequently asked questions about L480 parts
Do parts from the ThinkPad L490 or E480 fit the L480?
Largely yes for the L490 - it shares nearly all mechanical parts with the L480 (cases, palmrest, antennas), as shown by common FRU numbers. With the E480 (same generation, consumer line) the L480 shares its keyboard and camera, but the cases differ. Match the motherboard strictly by FRU number regardless.
What battery does the L480 have and which one to choose?
We currently do not stock a main cell for the L480 - 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 L480?
The L480 shares its keyboard with the E480 / E490 / T480s / L380 / T490 / L390 family - choose the variant matching your language layout from the Palmrest, keyboard, touchpad section above, ideally comparing the FRU number.
Which LCD cable and display case should I choose for the L480?
The L480 came in a version with a regular RGB camera and a version with an IR camera (Windows Hello) - the display case and bezel have separate FRU numbers for each variant. Determine whether your laptop has an IR camera before picking an item from the Display, cables and hinges section above.
Which motherboard and charger fit the L480?
We currently do not stock a motherboard or a charger for the L480 - ask us with your configuration (processor, RAM, WWAN modem) and we will look for a matching part.
How do I choose a WWAN/WLAN antenna for the L480?
Antennas come as a pair (left and right) with separate FRU numbers - choose the set matching the mounting side. See the Motherboard and electronics section above.
How do I check the FRU number of an L480 part?
The FRU number (Part Number) is printed on the component itself - on the keyboard, palmrest, case or antenna. 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 L480 parts are replaced most often?
The most frequently replaced are the keyboard, palmrest, LCD cable and fan. You will find all these items in the list above with their FRU numbers.
