Precautionary Measures

NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your

computer. Damage or inoperability due to servicing not authorized by Dell is

not covered by your warranty.

WARNING: FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND

PROTECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT:

Before you start to work on the computer, perform the following steps in the

sequence indicated:

Ground yourself by attaching an antistatic grounding strap to your wrist

and to an unpainted metal surface on the computer I/O panel. If an

antistatic grounding strap is not available, periodically discharge static

electricity from your body by touching one of the connectors on the I/O

panel.

Turn off the computer and any attached peripherals.

Disconnect the computer and any attached peripherals from electrical

outlets to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock.

Recommended Tools

NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your

computer. Damage or inoperability due to servicing not authorized by Dell is

not covered by your warranty.

Most of the procedures require the use of one or more of the following tools:

Small flat-blade screwdriver

Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver

Antistatic grounding strap

Dental pick

Small scribe or nylon flat blade

Nut drivers (5 mm and 5.5 mm)

Be careful not to scratch the computer plastic case by allowing screws to get between the work surface and the plastic case.

Dell suggests a soft padded work surface.

NOTICE: The correct-length screw must be used when reinstalling a screw.

Otherwise, hardware damage could result. Make sure that the screw is

properly aligned with its corresponding hole, and avoid excessive tightening.

NOTICE: During the removal and replacement procedures, you will see

Kapton tape (grounding tape) in many places on the computer. When

reinstalling or replacing parts, be sure to replace the Kapton tape correctly

to retain the electrical protection and noise reduction the tape provides.
