For your safety and that of other people in the working environment, it is strongly recommended
that you use electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment. The proper use of this equipment will
ensure successful repair work and reduce the costs for repairing damaged components.
The equipment and tools required for disassembly and reassembly are:
■ One 2 mm Phillips screwdriver
■ One 4 mmflat-blade screwdriver
■ Torx screw driver
■ Tweezers (for pulling out screws)
