Technician Notes
Only technicians authorized by Packard Bell B.V. should attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting
and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity
of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or
to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any
indication of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or
exchange allowances.
Disassembly
When disassembling the system unit, follow these general rules:
Turn OFF the device.
Disconnect the AC adapter or USB cable.
Remove any SD/MMC card, ExpressCard or dummy card from the device.
Do not disassemble the system into parts that are smaller than those specified in the instructions.
Label all removed connectors; note where the connector goes and in what position it was installed.
Use something to hold the small screws (trays, jars, or cups). Label each cup with the disassembly
step number. This can reduce questions about where each screw came from during re-assembly.
Reassembly
Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly process. Use care to ensure that all cables and screws are
returned to their proper positions. Check that no tools or any loose parts have been left inside the casing.
Check that everything is properly installed and tightened.
Required Tools
All disassembly procedures can be performed using the following tools:
Small Phillips screwdriver (2.0 mm or less).
Hex screwdriver (1.3 mm).
