Preparing the computer for Disassembly
Before beginning removal and replacement procedures, complete the following
procedures:
1. Disconnect AC power and any external devices.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove any PC Cards.
IMPORTANT:
The battery pack should be removed before performing any internal
maintenance on the computer.
WARNING: Metal objects can damage the battery pack as well as the
battery contacts in the battery compartment. To prevent damage, do not
allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts. Place only the battery pack
for the Compaq Prosignia Series Portable Computers into the battery
compartment. Do not force the battery pack into the bay if insertion does not
occur easily.
CAUTION: Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not
open a battery pack, as this damages the pack, makes it unusable, and
exposes potentially harmful battery components. There are no
field-serviceable parts located inside the battery pack.
NOTE:
The Compaq Prosignia Series Portable Computers have several screws of
various sizes which are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during
reassembly to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location.
During removal please keep respective screws with their associated
sub-assembly.
