Before start
disassembling the computer there are a few warnings and reminders that
we should follow in order to keep the computer and yourself safe.
- Fully shutdown and unplug the computer before you make any attempts to disassemble the computer.
- Take off any metal objects on your arms or fingers such as bracelets, rings or watches. Even if your computer is unplugged, there may still be some remaining electric charge.
- Make sure your hands are completely dry to avoid damaging any mechanical parts as well as to avoid any electrocution.
- Prepare to place any screws you may remove. A container or piece of paper with labels for each part (casing, motherboard, CD drive, etc) is deal to avoid any confusion between the similar- looking screws.
- If a component does not come out easily, do not forcefully remove it. Instead, check that you are removing it correctly and that no wires or other parts are in the way.
- Be careful not to drop any small parts into unreachable area such as into the computer fan or disk drive.
