Preparing the Computer for Disassembly
1. Disconnect AC power and any external devices.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove any PC Cards.
IMPORTANT: |
The battery pack should be removed before performing any internal
maintenance on the computer. |
 |
WARNING: Metal objects can
damage the battery pack as well as the battery contacts in the battery compartment. To
prevent damage, do not allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts. Place only the
battery pack for the Compaq Presario Series Portable Computers into the battery
compartment. Do not force the battery pack into the bay if insertion does not occur
easily. |
|
 |
CAUTION: Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not open
a battery pack, as this damages the pack, makes it unusable, and exposes potentially
harmful battery components. There are no field-serviceable parts located inside the
battery pack. |
NOTE: |
The Compaq Presario Series Portable Computers have several screws of
various sizes which are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly
to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal
please keep respective screws with their associated sub-assembly. |
