Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 Repair
We repair the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 at our workshop in Bermondsey, from cracked screens and worn batteries to board faults and data recovery. The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 is a 2025 laptop with a 16-inch screen. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

Screen replacement
Cracked, flickering or lined 16-inch screens are replaced with a matching panel. Where the picture comes and goes as the lid moves, we check the display cable and hinges first.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
The battery is internal and held by screws. We fit a new one, then calibrate and test it under load.
Price confirmed before work starts
Keyboard and trackpad repair
The keyboard is a separate part on most ThinkPads and is replaced without disturbing the rest of the machine. Trackpad and TrackPoint buttons are replaced the same way.
Charging port and power repair
Charging is over USB-C. A loose or dead port is replaced where it is a separate part, or repaired on the motherboard where it is soldered.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
We also carry out motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- From the T480s onward many T-series models have one soldered memory module and one free slot.
- On the T480 and T580, USB-C and Thunderbolt charging failures are a known fault, often linked to out-of-date Thunderbolt firmware.
- A forgotten supervisor password is stored in a security chip and cannot be reset from software.
- ThinkPad keyboards, batteries and SSDs are accessible and well supported with parts, which makes most repairs economical.
Data recovery from the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4
The SSD in the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.
