Before Disassembly

Revision A
Field Replaceable Units and Upgrades: Disassembly Guidelines
WARNINGS
REPAIR TO THE FRU LEVEL — Field repairs are
recommended to the field replaceable unit (FRU) only.
Attempting a field repair on a PCB or a factory sealed
component or assembly could jeopardize the safe and
effective operation of the monitor.
BATTERY EXPLOSION HAZARD — When removing
the GCX plate and the footpad from the bottom of the
monitor, clearly identify the screws to ensure the same
screws are used to replace both the footpad and the GCX
plate. Do NOT re-assemble the footpad without the GCX
plate. Screws that are too long will penetrate into the
battery case and cause the battery to leak or to explode.
NOTE
GE recommends that you assemble the monitor using the NEW
fasteners (screws, washers, etc.) provided in the Dash 3K/4K
Hardware Kit FRU. Some fasteners, like the screws with a thread
locking coating, are NOT intended to be re-used more than three
times.
A standard set of hand tools is required for disassembly and assembly.
Before you disassemble the monitor, you should ALWAYS do the
following tasks.
1. Remove AC power.
2. Remove both batteries.
3. Provide appropriate electrostatic discharge protection to prevent
damaging the monitor.
4. Be aware that the nonspecific disassembly instructions apply to all
monitors supported by this service manual. Disassembly for specific
models of the monitor are identified when required.
