• Residual voltage within certain printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) parts could cause electric shock. Prior to handling PCBA's refer to the repair guide for detailed disassembly instructions, and conduct the prescribed residual voltage discharge process. 

• Use only demagnetized tools that are specifically designed for electronic repairs, as most electronic parts are sensitive to electromagnetic forces.

• Use only high quality screwdrivers when servicing devices. Low 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.
