This section explains how to disassemble the computer and replace Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). It may not be necessary to remove all the FRUs in order to replace one. The chart below is a guide to which FRUs need to be removed in order to remove others. Always start by removing the battery pack, next, optional items such as the optional PC card and optional SD card, then follow the line on the chart to determine which FRU you must remove next in order to repair the one you think is causing the computer to operate improperly. Refer to the example at the bottom of the page.
How to see the chart: This chart shows which unit(s) you need to remove in advance when you replace one unit.
Example:
When you wan to replace touch pad, you need to remove units, in the hatched boxes above the boxes in which the touch pad is.
