Screws

The screws used in these products are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process, it could cause damage to the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws removed during the disassembly process be kept with the corresponding part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.

Important

As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be placed away from the work area to prevent damage.

Cables and Connectors

Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. These must be handled carefullyto avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cable during its insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that they are positioned so that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed.
