Disassembly Chapter 2: Disassembly Overview This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for disassembling the W110ER/W110ERF series notebook’s parts and subsystems. When it comes to reassembly, reverse the procedures (unless otherwise indicated). We suggest you completely review any procedure before you take the computer apart. Procedures such as upgrading/replacing the RAM, optical device and hard disk are included in the User’s Manual but are repeated here for your convenience.
Disassembly NOTE: All disassembly procedures assume that the system is turned OFF, and disconnected from any power supply (the battery is removed too). Maintenance Tools The following tools are recommended when working on the notebook PC: • M3 Philips-head screwdriver •...
Disassembly Maintenance Precautions The following precautions are a reminder. To avoid personal injury or damage to the computer while performing a re- moval and/or replacement job, take the following precautions: Power Safety Warning 1. Don't drop it. Perform your repairs and/or upgrades on a stable surface. If the computer falls, the case and other Before you undertake components could be damaged.
