Cables and Connectors
Most of the cables inside the Notebook are ribbon cables. Handle cables with extreme care to avoid damage. During insertion or removal from the connector, apply only the amount of pressure required to seat or unseat the cable, handling it by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables. Route cables in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
