Upgrades and Repairs
•
Only a qualified Service Engineer should perform upgrades and repairs to your
notebook.
•
If you do not have the necessary qualifications, go to an appropriate Service
Engineer. Please contact the Service Centre if you are experiencing technical
problems with your notebook.
•
Please contact our authorized Service Partners exclusively in the case of a necessary
repair.
Notes for Service Engineers
•
Before opening the housing, disconnect the notebook from all power sources and
remove any connecting cables. If the notebook has not been disconnected from the
power outlet before being opened, there is a danger of severe electric shock. There
is also a risk of damage to the components.
•
Internal components of the notebook may be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Perform system upgrades and changes in an ESD-protected work area. If no
such work area is available, wear an antistatic wrist strap or touch a highly
conductive metal object. Your service centre can repair damage sustained by
inappropriate handling for a fee.
•
Use only original spare parts.
Notes on Laser Radiation:
•
Laser devices of Laser Class 1 to Laser Class 3b may be used in the notebook. Where
the notebook housing remains closed, the device meets the requirements of Laser
Class 1. By opening the notebook housing you will gain access to laser devices of
up to Laser Class 3b.
•
The CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW drive contains no user-serviceable parts. Only
the manufacturer should perform repairs to the CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW
drives.
When removing and/or opening laser devices, the following guidelines must be observed:
•
DO NOT look into the laser beam, even while wearing optical protection.
•
DO NOT allow yourself to be exposed to the laser beam. Avoid exposure of the eyes
or skin to direct or stray
radiation.
