Tool And Software Requirements; Connectors And Plastic Parts - Compaq Presario 1200XL series Maintenance & Service Manual

Tool and Software Requirements

The following items are required to service the Notebook:
Torx T-9 screwdriver
•
5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)
•
Small standard screwdriver
•
Small Phillips screwdriver

Screws
The screws used in the Notebook 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.
Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it away from the
work area to prevent damage.

Connectors and Plastic Parts

Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during disassembly and
reassembly. When handling plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points
designated in the instructions. Most of the connectors in these Notebooks are
ZIF Connectors.
