Safety guidelines
While troubleshooting your convertible tablet PC, follow these safety
guidelines:
Never remove the memory bay cover or hard drive while your
convertible tablet PC is turned on, while the battery is installed, and
while the modem cable, network cable, and AC power adapter are
connected to your convertible tablet PC.
Make sure that you are correctly grounded before accessing internal
components. For more information about preventing damage from
static electricity, see “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 90.
After you complete any maintenance tasks where you remove the
memory bay cover or hard drive, make sure that you replace the
cover or drive, reinstall any screws, then replace the battery before
you start your convertible tablet PC.
Warning Do not try to troubleshoot your problem if power cords or
plugs are damaged, if your convertible tablet PC was
dropped, or if the case was damaged. Instead, unplug your
convertible tablet PC and contact a qualified computer
technician.
