quality screwdrivers can easily damage the heads of screws.
• Always use genuine replacement parts. Third-party replacement
parts may not function properly.
• Some parts, such as speakers, and other components, may
need calibration to guarantee their performance after repair.
• Before conducting repairs, remember to make backup copies of
all important data stored in the device.

ESD (Electrostatically Sensitive Devices) Precautions
Many semiconductors and ESDs in electronic product are
particularly sensitive to static discharge and can be easily
damaged by it. Always be sure that equipment is properly
grounded and that you follow proper grounding procedures before
beginning any repair procedure.
• Make sure to discharge static in the work environment before
opening packages containing ESDs.
• Increase the airflow to the work area to decrease the chance of
accidental static electricity discharges, as the potential for static
electricity discharge may be increased in low-humidity
environments, such as air-conditioned rooms.
• Improper grounding can result in ESD damage to electronic
components.
