Screws
The screws used in the Notebook are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used
during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that
all screws removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then
returned to their proper locations.
Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it together with
its screws away from the work area to prevent damage.
Connectors & Plastic Parts
Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during dissassembly and
reassembly. When handling plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points
designated in the instructions.
