Preparing your work space

Preparing your work space

Before performing maintenance on your notebook, make sure your work space

and your notebook are correctly prepared.

■Wear a grounding (ESD) wrist strap.

■Use a grounded or dissipative work mat.

■Use a stable and strong table.

■Make sure the table top is large enough to hold each component as you

remove it.

■Use bright lighting to make part identification easier.

■Keep your work surface free from clutter and dust that may damage

components.

■Use a magnetized screwdriver for removing screws.

■As you remove components and screws, lay them toward the rear of your

work surface (behind your notebook) or far enough to the side that your

arms do not accidentally brush components onto the floor.

■To help keep track of screws, try the following:

■Place each component’s screws in their own section of a parts

sorter.

■Place each component’s screws next to the component on your

work surface.

■Print the first page of each task, then place the page toward the

rear of your work surface. As you remove screws, place the screws

in their respective boxes on the page. Where screw measurements

are shown, the first number indicates screw head width, and the

second number indicates screw length.

■When you place flat-headed screws on your work surface, stand

them on their heads to prevent the screws from rolling off the table.

Preventing static electricity discharge

The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static

electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before replacing components, follow these guidelines:

■Turn off your notebook power.

■Remove the battery and unplug the power cord.

■Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards.

■Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and

attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded

connection.

■Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

■Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing

foam.

■Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready

to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags

because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

■Always hold memory modules and modems by their edges, but avoid

touching the edge connectors and components on the cards.

■Never slide any component over any surface.

Caution ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge

sensitive components in your notebook. Prevent ESD

damage by following ESD guidelines every time you open

your notebook case.

Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and

moving parts, turn off your notebook, remove the battery,

and unplug the power cord and modem cable before

opening the case.

Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object

into the vent holes of your notebook.

Warning To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and

moving parts, turn off your notebook, remove the battery,

and unplug the power cord and modem cable before

opening the case. Replace the cover before you restore

power or reconnect the modem cable.
