Electrostatic Discharge

A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy
static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but
damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may work
perfectly throughout a normal cycle and may not seem to be affected at all. However,
although it may function normally for a while, it may be degraded in the internal layers,
reducing its life expectancy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases,
the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

Generating Static

The table below shows activities that generate static electricity and the associated
electrostatic voltage level.

Typical Electrostatic Voltages

10% 40% 55%

Walking across carpet 35,000 V 15,000 V 7,500 V

Service Considerations

Listed below are some of the considerations to consider during the assembly and
disassembly of the Notebook.

Tool and Software Requirements

The following items are required to service the computer:

• 5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)

• Small standard screwdriver

• Small Phillips screwdriver

• Diagnostics software

Screws

The screws used in the Notebook are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used
during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that
all screws removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then
returned to their proper locations.

Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it away from the
work area to prevent damage.

Cables and Connectors

Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. Cables must be handled with
extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables
during insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector whenever
possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that the
cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being
removed or replaced.

Cables

Use the following precautions when handling cables to avoid damage to the cable or the
Notebook:

• Always handle cables by their connectors.

• Avoid bending, twisting, or pulling on the cables.

• Apply minimum required force when seating or unseating the cables from their

connectors.

• Place the cables carefully so that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being

removed or replaced.

• Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.

Connectors and Plastic Parts

Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during disassembly and
reassembly. When handling the plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points
designated in the maintenance instructions.
