damage from static electricity, see the
hardware guide.
While troubleshooting your notebook, follow these safety guidelines:

Never remove the memory bay or hard drive bay cover while your
notebook is turned on, while the battery(ies) is installed, and while the

After you complete any maintenance tasks where you remove the memory
