Safety guidelines
While troubleshooting your convertible tablet PC, follow these safety
guidelines:
Never remove the memory bay cover, keyboard, or hard drive kit if your
convertible tablet PC is turned on, the batteries are installed, or while the
modem cable, network cable, or 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 254.
After you complete any maintenance tasks where you remove the memory
bay cover, keyboard, or hard drive kit, make sure that you replace the cover,
keyboard, or hard drive kit, reinstall any screws, then replace the batteries
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.
