Section 2.0 - Before You Begin
Prepare ample work bench space that is clean and free of obstructions.
Use of proper electrostatic discharge equipment including floor mat, bench
mat, and ESD wristband is highly recommended to avoid damaging the
notebook’s motherboard and/or primary components.
Make sure the notebook is disconnected from any power source.
When installing or upgrading components, always remove the battery
pack for the unit. To remove the battery pack, simply slide and hold the
battery latch and remove the battery by lifting up and out.
Always use the appropriate tools. Although the primary tool required for
assembly is a No. 1 Phillips head screw driver, we recommend also using
a single-slot screwdriver for unlocking and locking flexible cable
connectors, and a pair of tweezers to insert and remove flexible cables.
