Most of the procedures require the use of one or more of the following tools: • Small flat-blade screwdriver • Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver • Antistatic grounding strap • Dental pick • Small scribe or nylon flat blade • Nut drivers (5 mm and 5.5 mm) Screw Identification and Tightening NOTICE: The correct-length screw must be used when reinstalling a screw. Otherwise, hardware damage could result. Make sure that the screw is properly aligned with its corresponding hole, and avoid overtightening. NOTICE: During the removal and replacement procedures, you will see Kapton tape in many places on the computer. When reinstalling or replacing parts, be sure to replace the Kapton tape correctly to retain the electrical protection and noise reduction the tape provides. Be careful not to scratch the computer plastic case by allowing screws to get between the disassembly surface and the plastic case. Dell suggests a soft padded work surface. The Inspiron 7500 contains many screws of various sizes. To help keep track of the screws, use a tackle or pill box as a storage device. Use Table 1 as a location template to store the screws during disassembly. 10 Dell Inspiron 7500 - Removing and Replacing Parts
