Safety PrecautionsIn order to prevent harm to both yourself and the unit, ALWAYS disconnect all peripherals and 
cables, and unplug the AC Adapter before performing any repairs on the unit.  Shoes with non-
conductive rubber soles should be worn to minimize the chance of shock or injury.
ESD ProtectionThe components of the VGN-N Series are susceptible to damage caused by ESD (electrostatic 
discharge).  Always follow proper grounding procedures and utilize appropriate equipment such as 
a wrist grounding strap and anti-static mat when performing any repairs on the unit.  If a properly 
grounded wrist strap is not available, touch an unpainted metal surface of the computer chassis to 
discharge static electricity.  This should be done periodically during the repair to discharge any 
static charge that has been accumulated. When removing a component from the system, be sure to 
place it on an anti-static mat.
Cosmetic Care Always protect both the unit and the repair surface from scratches, dings, dents, and other cosmetic 
damage by placing a protective mat between the unit and the repair surface.  Never place an LCD 
face-down on an unprotected surface.
