Preface P
This Service Quick Reference Guide describes how to test,
troubleshoot, remove and replace the DIGITAL HiNote Ultra
2000 series notebook computer Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).
This guide is written specifically for DIGITAL approved on-site
service engineers. On-site repair of systems beyond the
approved FRU list is prohibited and may void warranty.
CAUTION: Digital recommends that only A+
certified engineers attempt to repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair
procedures are detailed to support
subassembly/module level exchange. Because
of the complexity of the individual boards and
subassemblies, no one should attempt to make
repairs at the component level or make
modifications to any printed circuit board.
Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
Any indications of component replacement or
circuit board modifications might void any
warranty or exchange allowances.
