First Steps

Always perform the following steps before starting a repair:

• Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Keep the power cord unplugged while the device is

being repaired.

• Disconnect all other cables from the device.
• Clear and clean your workspace.
• Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach it to a properly grounded ESD mat.

ESD (electrostatic discharge, or the release of static electricity) can damage electronic components.

Caution

Be aware of the following while performing a repair:

• The manual for this model may show images of other models, but the procedures are the same.

Ensure that you use the correct tools for the model you’re repairing.

• Take your time. Thoroughly read all instructions and alerts.
• Magnetizing the screwdrivers will make it easier to work with small screws.
• Use only Kapton tape to secure cables and keep them out of the way when removing and

reinstalling parts.

• The end of each flex cable must align with its connector. Press the end of each flex cable to its

connector until it clicks to ensure that it’s secure.
