This manual provides instructions for removing and replacing field-replaceable 

components, assemblies, and subassemblies in your Dell Latitude portable 

computer. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure in this manual assumes 

the following conditions:

‡

The computer and any attached peripherals are turned off, and the 

peripherals are disconnected from the I/O panel on the back and right side 

of the computer.

‡

A part can be replaced by performing the removal procedure in reverse 

order.

When the display assembly is open nearly 180 degrees, use a book or 

something similar to support it. The angle of the display assembly with   

respect to the bottom case should never exceed 180 degrees. Also, when 

performing the procedures in this manual, the locations or directions relative to
