Electrostatic Discharge
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conducto\
r can 
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is n\
either 
felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to 
electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and will work\
 
perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although, it may function normally \
for a 
while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy\
.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, bu\
t in 
many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device paramete\
rs 
or melt silicon junctions.
Generating Static
The table shows how different activities generate static electricity and\
 at 
different electrostatic voltage levels.

Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind\
 
during the disassembly and assembly of the computer.
Tool and Software Requirements
To service the computer, you need the following:
l     Compaq screwdriver kit (Spare Part No. 161946-001)
l     Torx T-9 screwdriver
l     3/16-inch and 5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)
l     Small, standard screwdriver
l     Small, Phillips screwdriver
l     Diagnostics software
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. If an incorrect\
 
screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Com\
paq 
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 computer, it should 
be placed away from the work area to prevent damage.

Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. Cables must be h\
andled with extreme care to avoid 
damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables dur\
ing insertion or removal from the 
connector. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all case\
s, 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 th\
e cable or computer:
l     Always handle cables by their connectors.
l     Avoid bending, twisting, or pulling on the cables.
l     Apply minimum required force when seating or unseating the cables from t\
heir 
connectors.
l     Place the cables in such a manner that they cannot be caught or snagged \
by parts being 
removed or replaced.
l     Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.
 
 
CAUTION:  When serving these computers, ensure that cables are placed in 
their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable plac\
ement 
can cause severe damage to the unit.

embly and reassembly. When 
handling the plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points \
designated in the maintenance 
instructions.

ZIF Connectors
The computer uses a zero insertion force 
(ZIF) connector for the keyboard cable to the 
system board. To remove a cable from a ZIF 
connector, lift both corners of the ZIF 
connector and slide simultaneously with 
constant light force. 
 
CAUTION:  A ZIF connector and its 
attached cable can be easily 
damaged. Handle only the connector 
slide when removing or replacing a 
cable. Never pull or twist on the 
cable while it is connected.
 
CAUTION:  When servicing this 
computer, ensure that cables are 
placed in their proper location during 
the reassembly process. Improper 
cable placement can damage the 
computer.
