Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the fingerprint reader in your Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB. If you have ensured that the finger you are trying to sign in with has been properly registered and the reader is clean of any grease or debris, but the reader still fails to correctly recognize your finger, it may need to be replaced. While this replacement is one of the longer ones in terms of time for this device, it is still quick and easy to do, requiring only a JIS #00 screwdriver.
