Machine Disassembly and Replacement
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the notebook computer for
maintenance and troubleshooting.
To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:
q Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge
q Flat-bladed screw driver
q Phillips screw driver
q Tweezers
q Plastic Flat-bladed screw driver
q Hexed Screw Driver
NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, group the
screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components.
NOTE: This chapter has been revised from previous model (TravelMate 240/250). Please refer to the
disassembling procedures instead of the images. Some of the images below contain the parts used in
TravelMate 240/250, but not in Aspire 3010/5010.
