VGN-N Series – Preliminary Considerations

Safety Precautions

In order to prevent harm to both yourself and the unit, ALWAYS disconnect all peripherals and cables, and unplug the AC Adapter before performing any repairs on the unit. Shoes with non- conductive rubber soles should be worn to minimize the chance of shock or injury.

ESD Protection

The components of the VGN-N Series are susceptible to damage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge). Always follow proper grounding procedures and utilize appropriate equipment such as a wrist grounding strap and anti-static mat when performing any repairs on the unit. If a properly grounded wrist strap is not available, touch an unpainted metal surface of the computer chassis to discharge static electricity. This should be done periodically during the repair to discharge any static charge that has been accumulated. When removing a component from the system, be sure to place it on an anti-static mat.

Cosmetic Care

Always protect both the unit and the repair surface from scratches, dings, dents, and other cosmetic damage by placing a protective mat between the unit and the repair surface. Never place an LCD face-down on an unprotected surface.
