22.1. Notes for Service Technicians
Only service technicians may open up the notebook housing or upgrade or
modify your notebook.
Use only original replacement parts.
Before opening the housing, disconnect all power and connecting cables. If the
notebook is not disconnected from the power supply before being opened,
there is a risk that components could be damaged.
Internal components of the notebook may be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Carry out repairs, as well as system enhancements or
modifications, at an ESD workplace. If such a workplace is not available, wear
an antistatic cuff or ensure you are touching an earthed, metallic object. We will
charge for any repairs to damage caused by incorrect handling.

PACKAGING

them to a separate collection point for used batteries.

be disposed of correctly. Retailers that sell batteries and local collection
points provide containers in which you can dispose of them. Contact
your local waste disposal company or your local authority for more
information.
In connection with the sale of batteries or the supply of equipment
containing batteries, we are obliged to draw your attention to the
following: As the end user, you are legally required to return used
