4 Removal and replacement
procedures
Preliminary replacement requirements
Service considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during
disassembly and assembly procedures.
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the Slate, place the subassembly away from the work
area to prevent damage.
Plastic parts
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.
Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the
maintenance instructions.
Cables and connectors
CAUTION: When servicing the Slate, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during
the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the Slate.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat
or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In
all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that
they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with
extreme care; these cables tear easily.
