Cables
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Use the following precautions
when handling cables to avoid damage to the cable and Notebook:
• Always handle cables by their connectors.
• In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, pulling, or tearing cables.
• Apply only the minimum force required to seat or unseat cables from their
connectors.
• Ensure that cables are routed 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 Notebooks, ensure that cables are placed in their
proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can
cause severe damage to the unit.
