Working on your computer
Before working inside your computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to
ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes
that the following conditions exist:

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
