Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
This chapter provides essential information for proper and safe removal and replacement service.

4.1 Tools Required

You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures: Magnetic screwdriver Phillips P0 screwdriver 5.0-mm socket for system board screwlocks Flat-bladed screwdriver Tool kitincludes connector removal tool, loopback plugs, and case utility tool
4.2 Service Considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures.
As you remove each subassembly from the notebook, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from
the work area to prevent damage.

Plastic Parts

Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

Cables and Connectors

CAUTION: When servicing the notebook, ensure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the notebook.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Ensure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.
4.3 Preventing Damage to Removable Drives
Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the notebook, damage to a removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following precautions: Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the notebook. If you are unsure whether the notebook is off or in hibernation, turn the notebook on, and then shut it down through the operating system. Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical drive tray is closed. Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam. Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface. After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag. Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers. Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging and label the package FRAGILE: Handle With Care.

4.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage
Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge might not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or the device might function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
4.5 Packaging and Transporting Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and transporting equipment: To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes. Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations. Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam. Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Ensure that mechanized equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.
4.6 Workstation Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions at workstations: Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material (refer to Table 4-2, Static-Shielding Materials). Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and equipment. Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums. When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-safe materials. Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these items only at static-free workstations. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.

Switching Between Battery and External Power
The notebook switches between AC power and battery power according to the availability of an external AC power source, always preferring AC power. If the notebook contains a charged battery pack and is running on external AC power, the notebook will switch to battery power only if the AC adapter is disconnected from the notebook. Keeping a battery pack in the notebook enables the battery pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to external power and also protects your work in case of a power outage. On the other hand, a battery pack in the notebook slowly discharges even when the notebook is powered off. To prolong battery life, remove and store the battery pack if the notebook will be unused for 2 weeks or more. For more information, see the Storing a Battery Pack section later in this chapter.

Charging a Battery Pack

The battery pack charges whenever the notebook is connected to external power through an AC adapter. The battery pack charges whether the notebook is turned off or turned on but charges most quickly when the notebook is turned off. When the notebook is turned on, the battery pack may not charge, the charge time may be longer, or the charge time may vary with system activity.
Monitoring the Charge in a Battery Pack
Obtaining Accurate Charge Information
To increase the accuracy of all battery charge displays:
Allow the battery pack to discharge fully before charging it. Charge the battery pack fully. Even a new battery pack can display charge information inaccurately if it has not been fully charged. Fully charging and discharging the battery pack will reduce the need for battery calibration.
Displaying Charge Information
To display battery charge information on the screen:
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Meter tab. The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack. The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease if you start playing a DVD and will increase if you stop playing a DVD.
Power Meter displays battery status in both percent and time:
