Upgrades and modifications to your notebook should only be carried out by
qualified specialists. If you do not have the necessary qualifications, have the work
carried out by a qualified service technician. Please contact your customer service
department if you have technical problems with your notebook.

20.1. Notes for Service Technicians
` Only service technicians may open up the notebook housing or upgrade or
modify your notebook.
` Use only original replacement parts.
` Before opening the housing, disconnect all power and connecting cables. If the
notebook is not disconnected from the power supply before being opened,
there is a risk that components could be damaged.
` Internal components of the notebook may be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Carry out repairs, as well as system enhancements or
modifications, at an ESD workplace. If such a workplace is not available, wear
an antistatic cuff or ensure you are touching an earthed, metallic object. We will
charge for any repairs to damage caused by incorrect handling.
