Replacing the power supply
Tips & Tricks
You need a Phillips screwdriver to replace
the power supply.
To replace the power supply:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in “Removing the side
panel” on page 138.
2 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To avoid scratching the
case, place it on a towel or other non-abrasive surface.
3 Disconnect the power supply cables from all components (such as hard
drives, CD or DVD drives, and the system board), noting their locations and
orientation. (You will reconnect the cables after you install the new power
supply.)
4 Remove the three screws that secure the power supply to the computer.
