4-14 Field Service Guidelines
PARTS REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
This section contains field service-level removal/replacement procedures for the notebook.
Always refer to the exploded diagram in the previous section to quickly go through the pro-
cedures. The NEC Versa notebook is designed for optimum modularity in order to make
field replacement maintenance easy and efficient.
Removing/Replacing the Notebook Battery Pack
The procedure for removing and replacing the battery pack is as follows:
1.
Turn off the computer. Close the LCD cover and turn the whole unit over.
2.
You will find one clamping latch (lock knob) that secures the internal battery
pack. To remove the battery pack, push the lock knob forward with your other
hand holding the battery pack handle; then pull the battery pack out. Note that
this has to be done simultaneously.
3.
To replace the battery pack again, simply slide in the battery pack until you hear
the spring latch hook inside snaps to the battery. The battery pack can only be in-
serted in one direction so there is no danger of improper insertion.
Removing/Replacing the Internal Keyboard
The procedure for removing and replacing the internal keyboard of the notebook is as fol-
lows:
1.
Open the LCD cover to see the keyboard. Locate the left and right keyboard
latches found on the upper corners of the keyboard just above the key caps.
2.
Slide the left and right keyboard latches to the left and right respectively. Use
your finger to tilt the upper edge of the keyboard towards you. Do not immedi-
ately pull the keyboard away, there is still the keyboard ribbon cable connected to
the Motherboard. You may rest the keyboard (face down) to the palm rest surface
first.
3.
The keyboard cable is connected to the Motherboard’s FPC type connector. To
release the keyboard cable from the connector, gently lift (using your fingernail or
thin pointing object) the connector locks on the left and right edge. Pull the key-
board cable entirely and take out the keyboard from the notebook.
4.
To replace keyboard, rest the keyboard face-down to the palm rest surface. Insert
the keyboard cable to the FPC type connector on the Motherboard and push the
lock down to secure the cable.
5.
Flip the keyboard back and allow the left and right extending tabs on the key-
board’s front edge to fit into the gap area where the keyboard latches are found.
