4-6 Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
If you remove a key, use a specially designed key puller to prevent damage to the keys.
This tool is available through many electronic supply outlets.
CAUTION:
Never remove a wide leveled key (like the space bar) from the keyboard. If these keys are
improperly removed or installed, the keyboard may not function properly.
Cleaning under a key may be done with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol and
squeezed out. Be careful not to wipe away lubricants necessary for proper key functions.
Use tweezers to remove any fibers or dirt in confined areas. Allow the parts to air dry
before reassembly.
4.2.4 Cleaning the Monitor
Wipe the monitor screen with a clean cloth moistened with water or with a towlette
designed for cleaning monitors. Do not use sprays or aerosols directly on the screen; the
liquid may seep into the housing and damage a component. Never use solvents or
flammable liquids on the monitor.
To clean the monitor body follow the procedures in Section 4.2.2.
4.2.5 Cleaning the Mouse
Before cleaning the mouse, ensure that the power to the computer is turned off.
Clean the mouse ball by first removing the retaining plate and the ball from the housing.
Pull out any debris from the ball socket and wipe the ball with a clean, dry cloth before
reassembly.
To clean the mouse body, follow the procedures in Section 4.2.2.
4.3 Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the disassembly
and assembly of the computer.
4.3.1 Tools and Software Requirements
To service the computer, you need the following:
Torx T-15 screwdriver (Compaq screwdriver, part number 161946-001)
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Diagnostics software
4.3.2 Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or metric
threads and may be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly
process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws removed during
disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
