If your Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML has a broken screen, will not charge, runs hot or will not start, we can diagnose and repair it at our Bermondsey workshop. It is a 14-inch 2-in-1 laptop from 2019. The SSD can be replaced but the memory is soldered, so storage is the only upgrade.

Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
Battery replacement
A new internal battery is fitted and tested through a full charge and discharge. A battery of this age that swells should be replaced before it damages the trackpad or casing.

Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.

Can the SSD or memory in the Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML be upgraded?
The SSD can be replaced with a larger M.2 drive. Memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded.
My Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Is a 2019 Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML still worth repairing?
It depends on the fault. A battery, SSD or charging socket is usually worth doing. A major board repair on an older machine may cost more than the machine is worth, and if that is the case we will say so.
