Safety guidelines

While troubleshooting your notebook, follow these safety guidelines:
Never remove the memory bay cover or hard drive kit while your notebook
is turned on, while the batteries are installed, and while the modem cable,
network cable, and AC power adapter are connected.
Make sure that you are correctly grounded before accessing internal
components. For more information about preventing damage from static
electricity, see "Preventing static electricity discharge" on page 249.
After you complete any maintenance tasks where you remove the memory
bay or hard drive cover, make sure that you replace the cover, reinstall any
screws, then replace the battery before you start your notebook.
Warning
268
Do not try to troubleshoot your problem if power cords or
plugs are damaged, if your notebook was dropped, or if
the case was damaged. Instead, unplug your notebook
and contact a qualified computer technician.
