Upgrades and Repairs


Only a qualified Service Engineer should perform upgrades and repairs
to your notebook.

If you do not have the necessary qualifications, go to an appropriate
Service Engineer. Please contact the Service Centre if you are
experiencing technical problems with your notebook.

Please contact our authorized Service Partners exclusively in the case of a
necessary repair.

Notes for Service Engineers


Before opening the housing, disconnect the notebook from all power
sources and remove any connecting cables. If the notebook has not been
disconnected from the power outlet before being opened, there is a
danger of severe electric shock. There is also a risk of damage to the
components.

Internal components of the notebook may be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Perform system upgrades and changes in an ESD-
protected work area. If no such work area is available, wear an antistatic
wrist strap or touch a highly conductive metal object. Your service centre
can repair damage sustained by inappropriate handling for a fee.

Use only original spare parts.

Notes on Laser Radiation:


Laser devices of Laser Class 1 to Laser Class 3b may be used in the
notebook. Where the notebook housing remains closed, the device
meets the requirements of Laser Class 1. By opening the notebook
housing you will gain access to laser devices of up to Laser Class 3b.

The CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW drive contains no user-serviceable
parts. Only the manufacturer should perform repairs to the CD-
ROM/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW drives.
When removing and/or opening laser devices, the following guidelines must be
observed:

DO NOT look into the laser beam, even while wearing optical protection.

DO NOT allow yourself to be exposed to the laser beam. Avoid exposure
of the eyes or skin to direct or stray
radiation.
