Safety guidelines
While troubleshooting your tablet PC, follow these safety guidelines:
■
Never remove the memory bay cover while your tablet PC is turned on,
while the battery is installed, and while the modem cable, network cable,
and AC power adapter are connected.
■
Make sure that you are correctly grounded before accessing internal
components. For more information about preventing damage from static
electricity, see “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 221.
■
After you complete any maintenance tasks where you remove the memory
bay, make sure that you replace the cover, reinstall any screws, then replace
the battery before you start your tablet PC.
Warning
Do not try to troubleshoot your problem if power cords or
plugs are damaged, if your tablet PC was dropped, or if
the case was damaged. Instead, unplug your tablet PC
and contact a qualified computer technician.
