Removal & Replacement
Listed below are some of the considerations that should be kept in mind during the
disassembly and assembly of the computer.
Tool Requirements
Phillips screwdriver
Needle-nose pliers
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Compaq Utilities software
Plastic non-conductive rod
Screws
The screws used in these products are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is
used during the reassembly process, it could cause damage to the unit. Compaq
strongly recommends that all screws removed during the disassembly process be kept
with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
IMPORTANT:
Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. These must be handled with
extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the
cables during insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector
whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and
ensure that they are placed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by
parts being removed or replaced.
CAUTION: When servicing these computers, ensure that cables are placed
in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable
placement can cause severe damage to the unit.
