Replacing the Solo 9500 Keyboard
This package includes a replacement keyboard for your Solo 9500 notebook
computer and these printed instructions.
Tools you need
You will need a small Phillips and a small flat blade screwdriver to replace
the keyboard.
Preventing static electricity discharge
The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before opening the notebook case, follow these guidelines:
■Turn off the notebook power.
■Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and
attach it to a bare metal part on the back of the notebook.
■Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the notebook.
■Unplug the AC adapter and modem cable.
■Remove the battery.
Before working with notebook components, follow these guidelines:
■Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing
foam.
■Remove the keyboard from its antistatic bag only when you are ready to
use it. Do not lay the keyboard on the outside of the antistatic bag because
only the inside of the bag provides electrostatic protection.
Caution ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge
sensitive components in the notebook. Prevent ESD
damage by following ESD guidelines every time you open
the notebook case.
