Removal Sequence

This section describes the removal and replacement process for the Presario 1400 Series Notebook.

The procedures are divided into two subsections: The Customer Removable Parts and The Service

Removable Parts. The first subsection explains which parts may be removed by the customer/owner,

and the second subsection explains which parts should be serviced by the technician.

The Customer Removable Parts

parts. The serial number is located on the underside of the Notebook as shown below.

ÅWARNING: Prior to servicing your Notebook, disconnect AC power cords and

external devices, and remove the battery pack and any PC Cards. Failure to

disconnect electrical devices may cause damage to the Notebook and loss of

human life.

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 that has been exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not seem to be affected and

work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although the Notebook may function normally for a period

of time, it may have been degraded in the internal layers, reducing the 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 level of

electrostatic voltage.

Typical Electrostatic Voltages

Event Relative Humidity

10% 40% 55%

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

Walking across vinyl floor 12,000 V 5,000 V 3,000 V

Service Considerations

During the disassembly and assembly of your Notebook, please keep in mind the considerations

listed below.

Tool and Software Requirements

Customer serviceable parts only require the following items during disassembly:

•Small standard screwdriver

•Small Phillips screwdriver

•Diagnostics software

Screws

The screws used on the customer removable parts are Phillips. These screws are not

interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is applied during the reassembly process, it can damage the

unit. Compaq strongly recommends that you keep all screws with their respective parts as they are

removed during disassembly. Then replace the screws in their proper locations.

Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it away from the

work area to prevent damage.

Note: Screws inside the Compaq Presario 1400 Series Portable Notebooks vary in size

and are not interchangeable. During reassembly care must be taken to return the

correct screws to their original location. Keep all screws with their respective

subassembly during removal.
