Service Considerations

Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind
during the disassembly and reassembly of the computer.

Tool and Software Requirements

To service the computer, you need the following:
Compaq screwdriver kit
Torx T-8 screwdriver
3/16-inch and 5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)
Small, standard screwdriver
Small, Phillips screwdriver
Diagnostics software
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. If an incorrect
screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq
strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept
with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
Fan and RJ11
The Fan and RJ11 are spared with the base assembly. They are not available
separately, and may only be obtained by ordering the entire base assembly.
This Maintenance and Service Guide contains no removal and replacement
procedures for these components.
As each subassembly is removed from the computer,
IMPORTANT: it should be placed away from the work area to
prevent damage.
