4–2 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
4.2 Service Considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations
that you should keep in mind during disassembly and
assembly procedures.
✎
As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place
the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from
the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic Parts
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
Ä
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are
placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process.
Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
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. Ensure 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.
