Disassembly safety

IMPORTANT! Read This First!

Before you disassemble your XO laptop, there are some things you should know about staying safe around electricity and small parts. In brief:

  • Protect your eyes. Watch out for small pieces of plastic or metal. If you have glasses or safety goggles, wear them.
  • Watch out for electric shock. Always unplug your XO and take out the battery before you disassemble.
  • Be careful. Use a clear workspace so you can see what you are doing, and keep small parts in bowls so they don't fall off the table. Use common sense - if you find yourself yanking really hard on a part, it's probably not supposed to come off that way!
  • Follow the Motherboard Handling Procedures
