NOTICE:

Make sure the board is correctly and firmly seated before continuing. Failure to do so will cause intermittent video failures.

NOTICE:

Disconnect the computer and attached devices from electrical outlets and remove any installed batteries.

NOTICE:

To avoid ESD, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching unpainted metal on the computer.

NOTICE:

The reserve battery provides power to the computer's time RTC and NVRAM when the computer is turned off. Removing the palmrest

disconnects the reserve battery and causes the computer to lose the date and time information as well as all user-specified parameters in NVRAM. If
possible, make a copy of this information before you disconnect the reserve battery.

NOTICE:

To avoid damaging the palmrest assembly, you must first remove the display assembly.
