3.3 Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the
disassembly and assembly of the computer.
3.3.1 Tools and Software Requirements
! Compaq screwdriver with 8 bits, spare part number 161946-001
! Diagnostics software
3.3.2 Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or
metric threads and may be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the
reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws
removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their
proper locations.
3.3.3 Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are flat, flexible cables. These cables must be
handled with care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the
cables during insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector
whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure
that the cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts
being removed or replaced.
CAUTION:
When servicing this computer, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
