Disassembly￿Procedures￿

The￿cable￿connectors￿come￿in￿these￿two￿basic￿types:￿

￿￿ Pressure￿plate￿connectors￿

￿￿ Normal￿pin￿connectors￿

To￿remove￿a￿pressure￿plate￿connector,￿pull￿up￿the￿tabs￿on￿either￿side￿of￿the￿connector's￿plastic￿ pressure￿plate￿and￿gently￿pull￿the￿cable￿out￿of￿the￿connector.￿To￿reconnect￿the￿cable￿to￿the￿ pressure￿plate's￿connector,￿raise￿the￿pressure￿plate￿up￿to￿a￿satisfactory￿height￿and￿slide￿the￿cable￿ into￿the￿connector.￿Secure￿the￿cable￿in￿the￿correct￿position￿by￿pressing￿down￿the￿sides￿of￿the￿ pressure￿plate￿so￿that￿the￿plate￿is￿flush￿with￿the￿sides￿of￿the￿connector.￿Grasp￿and￿pull￿the￿cable￿ gently￿to￿check￿that￿the￿cable￿is￿connected￿firmly.￿If￿the￿cable￿came￿off￿the￿connector,￿reinsert￿the￿ cable￿by￿raising￿the￿pressure￿plate￿up￿to￿a￿satisfactory￿height.￿￿

Normal￿pin￿connectors￿are￿used￿for￿all￿the￿other￿types￿of￿cables.￿These￿connectors￿can￿be￿ installed￿or￿removed￿by￿simply￿inserting￿them￿or￿pulling￿them￿out.￿

Assembly￿Procedures￿

You￿have￿to￿reassemble￿the￿laptop￿after￿you￿have￿disassembled￿the￿laptop￿and￿fixed￿the￿ component￿that￿caused￿the￿problem.￿

When￿reassembling￿the￿laptop,￿keep￿the￿following￿general￿guidelines￿in￿mind:￿

￿￿ Take￿your￿time￿to￿carry￿out￿the￿suggested￿instructions￿completely.￿Hurried￿reassembly￿

can￿often￿cause￿problems.￿￿

￿￿ Check￿that￿all￿the￿cable￿and￿connectors￿are￿fastened￿securely.￿

￿￿ Before￿securing￿the￿FRUs￿or￿other￿parts,￿check￿that￿the￿cables￿are￿not￿caught￿by￿the￿

screws￿or￿FRUs.￿￿

￿￿ Check￿that￿all￿the￿latches￿are￿closed￿securely.￿￿

￿￿ Check￿that￿all￿the￿required￿screws￿are￿used￿to￿secure￿the￿FRUs.￿Using￿wrong￿screws￿can￿

damage￿the￿threads￿or￿heads￿of￿the￿screws￿or￿does￿not￿ensure￿that￿the￿FRUs￿are￿secure.￿￿

￿

After￿installing￿a￿FRU,￿make￿sure￿that￿the￿FRU￿and￿laptop￿work￿normally.￿￿
