Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that
you should keep in mind during the disassembly
and assembly of the computer.
Tool and Software Requirements
You will need the following items to service the
computer:
Torx T-8 or T-9 screwdriver
5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and
standoffs)
Small standard screwdriver
Small Phillips screwdriver
Diagnostics software
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not
interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used
during the reassembly process, it can damage
the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all
screws removed during disassembly be kept with
the part that was removed, then returned to their
proper locations.
IMPORTANT:
Parts Catalog
Pin Assignments
As each subassembly
is removed from the
computer, it should be
placed away from the
work area to prevent
damage.
