Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
Plastic Parts
Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can 
damage plastic parts. Use care when handling the plastic parts. 
Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance 
instructions.
Cables and Connectors
Ä
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are 
placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process. 
Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. 
Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables 
during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector 
whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or 
tearing cables. Ensure that cables are routed in such a way that 
they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or 
replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables 
tear easily.
