ThinkPad L Series repair
Screen, battery, keyboard, charging port, hinge and motherboard repairs for every ThinkPad L Series laptop: 64 models and 136 machine types listed by Lenovo. Repaired at our London SE1 workshop, or collected by courier from anywhere in the UK.
Every ThinkPad L Series model
The machine type is the first four characters of the model number on the label underneath the laptop, for example 21HD in 21HD003GUK. Lenovo Vantage and the BIOS screen show it too. Type it, or the model name, to find yours. Model names, machine types and status are from Lenovo’s product reference, PSREF (23 October 2026).

ThinkPads and ThinkBooks are built to be repaired: screens, keyboards, batteries and SSDs are separate parts on most models, so a repair is often far cheaper than a new laptop.

Questions
How long does a ThinkPad L Series repair take?
Most screen, keyboard, battery, hinge and charging port repairs take one to three working days once the part is here. We order the exact part for your machine type. Motherboard repairs take longer.
Will I lose my files?
Not from a normal repair: we don’t wipe the storage. If Windows needs reinstalling, or the board is badly damaged, we copy your files off first. Data recovery is available if the storage has failed.
Where do I find the machine type?
The machine type is the first four characters of the model number on the label underneath the laptop, for example 21HD in 21HD003GUK. Lenovo Vantage and the BIOS screen show it too.
Is my ThinkPad L Series too old to repair?
No. Lenovo lists it as withdrawn once it’s no longer sold, but we still repair it. For older models we source new and used parts, and repair boards at component level.
