Removal and Replacement Procedures
Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. Cables must be handled with extreme care to
avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables during insertion or
removal from the connector.
Cables
Use the following precautions when handling cables to prevent damage to the cable or computer:
● Always handle cables by their connectors.
● Avoid bending, twisting, or pulling on the cables.
● Apply minimum required force when seating or unseating the cables from their
connectors.
● Place the cables in such a manner that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts
being removed or replaced.
● Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are placed in their
proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can cause
severe damage to the unit.
