This chapter provides removal and replacement assembly procedures for the Compaq TFT450 Flat
Panel Monitor.
1.1 Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other electrostatic-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
devices.
1.1.1 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in electrostatic-safe containers.
■
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at electrostatic-free
workstations.
■
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
■
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■
Always be properly grounded when touching an electrostatic-sensitive component or
assembly.
1.1.2 Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts.
■
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 /- 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
■
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
■
Use conductive field service tools.
■
Use a portable field service kit with a folding electrostatic-dissipating work mat.
