Screw notices

Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. In the ThinkPad computer, this problem is addressed with special nylon-coated screws that have the following characteristics:

vThey maintain tight connections.

vThey do not easily come loose, even with shock or vibration.

vThey are harder to tighten.

vEach one should be used only once.

Do the following when you service this machine:

vKeep the screw kit (for the P/N, see “Miscellaneous parts” on page 155) in your tool bag.

vAlways use new screws.

vUse a torque screwdriver if you have one.

Tighten screws as follows:

vPlastic to plastic

Turn an additional 90 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the plastic part:

vTorque driver

If you have a torque driver, refer to the “Torque” column for each step.

vMake sure that you use the correct screw. If you have a torque screwdriver, tighten all screws firmly to the torque shown in the table. Never use a screw that you removed. Use a new one. Make sure that all of the screws are tightened firmly.

vEnsure torque screwdrivers are calibrated correctly following country specifications.
