NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform the procedures for removing
and replacing parts. The warranty on the computer becomes void if anyone other than a

This section provides instructions for removing and replacing field- replaceable components,
assemblies, and subassemblies in your Dell computer. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure
in this document assumes the following conditions:
1. The computer and any attached peripherals are turned off, and the peripherals are
disconnected from the I/O panel on the back and right side of the computer.
2. A part can be replaced by performing the removal procedure in reverse order unless
otherwise noted.
When the display assembly is open nearly 180 degrees, use a book or something similar to
support it. The angle of the display assembly with respect to the bottom case should never
exceed 180 degrees. When performing the procedures in this manual, the directions relative to
the computer are as shown in the following figure, unless otherwise specified.
