Preventing static electricity discharge
The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
permanently damage electrostatic discharge-sensitive components in
your notebook.
Before working with notebook components, follow these guidelines:
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic,
and packing foam.
Remove components from their antistatic bags only when
you are ready to use them. Do not lay components on the
outside of antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags
provide electrostatic protection.
Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the
edge connectors. Never slide components over any surface.
Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics
stores) and attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench
or other grounded connection.
Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other
grounded object.
To replace the DVD drive:
1 Follow the guidelines under “Preventing static electricity
discharge.”
2 Make sure that the DVD drive is empty.
