Removing and installing components during servicing

Preparing to remove components

If you are going to remove or change system components, prepare for the removal as follows:

Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12. Remove the power plug from the mains outlet !

Switch the device off.

The device must not be in energy-saving mode !

Close the LCD screen.

Remove all the cables from the device.

Turn the device over and place it on a stable, flat and clean surface. If necessary, lay an anti-slip cloth on this surface to prevent the device from being scratched.

Remove the battery (see "Removing the battery", Page 32).

Installing and removing memory expansion

If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory expansion yourself, proceed as follows:

Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.

When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the power supply, see "Preparing to remove components", Page 53.

Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your notebook (see "Technical data", Page 70).

Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.

You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices, opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed and replaced only by authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!

As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take note of chapter "Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 52.
