Checking internal devices

Ensure that you complete an internal device check before you install or service your system.

To conduct the internal device check, use the following steps.

  1. Check for any non-Lenovo changes that were made to the device.
  2. Check the condition of the inside of the device for any metal or other contaminants, or any indications of water, other fluid, fire, or smoke damage.
  3. Check for any obvious mechanical problems, such as loose components.
  4. Check any exposed cables and connectors for wear, cracks, or pinching.
