Notes
v In models with the fingerprint reader, the sensor
has been attached to the palm rest FRU as the
child part. In case of the fingerprint reader has
any defects and needs to be replaced, you need
to replace the palm rest by following the
procedures in this section. The procedures are
same both for the palm rest without the fingerprint
reader and for the palm rest with the fingerprint
reader.
v For some models, this FRU is secured by using a
tamper resistant torx head screw (TR7).
