Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service
technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety
precautions are adhered to strictly.
Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully fastened, it
could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause overheating, smoke or
fire.
If you replace the battery pack or RTC battery, be sure to use only the same model battery or
an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong battery can cause the
battery to explode.
