Recommended Tools - Alienware 15 R3 Service Manual

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the computer, ensure that the work
surface is flat and clean.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the components and cards, handle them
by their edges, and avoid touching pins and contacts.
CAUTION: You should only perform troubleshooting and repairs as
authorized or directed by the Dell technical assistance team. Damage due
to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your
warranty. See the safety instructions that shipped with the product or at
www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground
yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the
back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted
metal surface to dissipate static electricity, which could harm internal
components.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its
pull tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have connectors with locking
tabs or thumb-screws that you must disengage before disconnecting the
cable. When disconnecting cables, keep them evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. When connecting cables, ensure that the
ports and connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION: Press and eject any installed card from the media-card
reader.
