4.2 Service Considerations

Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the disassembly and
assembly of the computer.

4.2.1 Tools and Software Requirements

To service the computer, you need the following:
Torx T-10 and T-15 screwdrivers
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Diagnostics software

4.2.2 Screws

The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or metric threads and
may be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassemble 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: As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be placed away from
the work area to prevent damage.
