Removal Sequence
Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon
cables. Cables must be handled with extreme
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.
Cables
Use the following precautions when handling cables to avoid
damage to the cable or computer:
● Always handle cables by their connectors.
● Avoid bending, twisting, or pulling on the cables.
● Apply minimum required force when seating or
unseating the cables from their connectors.
● Place the cables in such a manner that they cannot be
caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
● Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear
easily.
CAUTION: When servicing
these computers, ensure that
cables are placed in their
proper location during the
reassembly process. Improper
cable placement can cause
severe damage to the unit.
The following illustrations show the proper
placement for each cable:
● ZIF connector cable
● Hard drive ribbon cable
● CD or DVD drive ribbon cable
● Diskette drive ribbon cable
● Speaker Assembly cable
● Modem cable
● Keyboard ribbon cable
Connectors and Plastic Parts
Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force
during disassembly and reassembly. When handling the
plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points
designated in the maintenance instructions.
