Safety Precautions Before you begin disassembly, read the following safety precautions and observe them carefully as you work. DANGER: 1) Always use the genuine battery that is authorized by Toshiba or compatible with the unit. Since other battery packs have different specifications, they may be incompatible with the unit, and may burst or explode.
Before You Begin Look over the procedures in this section before you begin disassembling the computer. Familiarize yourself with the disassembly and reassem bly steps. Begin each procedure by removing the AC adapter and the battery pack as instructed in this section: 1.
Disassembly Procedures The computer has four basic types of cable connectors: • Pressure Plate connector • Spring connector • Coaxial connector • Normal Pin connector To disconnect a Pressure Plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the connector’s plastic pressure plate and slide the cable out of the connector.
Assembly Procedures After you have disassembled the computer and fixed or repaired the problem that was causing the computer to operate abnormally, you will need to reassem ble the computer. Install all the removed FRUs following the steps described in the corresponding sections in this chapter.
Screw Tightening Torque When you fasten screws, be sure to follow the torque list below. CAUTION: Overtightening can damage components and screws; undertightening can result in electrical shorts or other damage if screws or components come loose. NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you use an electric screw driver for quick and easy operations.
Marking of Screws on the Computer Body To make maintenance of the com puter easier, markings of the kinds of the screws including the types and lengths of the screws are indicated on the computer body.

Appendix A Handling the LCD Module Appendices Appendix A P Appendix A Handling the LCD Module Precautions for handling the LCD module The LCD module can be easily damaged during assem bly or disassembly. Observe the following precautions when handling the LCD module: 1.
Appendices Appendix A Handling the LCD Module 3. If the panel’s surface gets dirty, wipe it with cotton or a soft cloth. If it is still dirty, try breathing on the surface to create a light condensate and wipe it again. If the surface is very dirty, we recommend a CRT cleaning agent.
Appendix A Handling the LCD Module Appendices 5. Glass is used in the panel, so be careful not to drop it or let it strike a hard object, which could cause breakage or cracks. 6. CMOS-LSI circuits are used in the module, so guard against damage from electrostatic discharge.
Appendices Appendix A Handling the LCD Module 7. Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays for long periods. 8. Do not store the module at temperatures below specifications. Cold can cause the liquid crystals to freeze, lose their elasticity or otherwise suffer damage.
Appendix A Handling the LCD Module Appendices 9. Do not disassemble the LCD module. Disassem bly can cause malfunctions. 10. If you transport the module, do not use packing m aterial that contains epoxy resin (amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxime).
