Before You Begin: Dell Latitude X300 Service Manual

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential

damage and to ensure your own personal safety.

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow

the safety instructions in the System Information Guide.

NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your

computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered

by your warranty.

CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the

components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its

metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor by

its edges, not by its pins.

NOTICE: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-

relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking

tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs

before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them

evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a

cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before

you begin working inside the computer.

1. Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover

from being scratched.

2. Shut down the computer.

3. Ensure that the computer and any attached devices are turned off. If your

computer and attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut

down your computer, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds.

4. If the computer is connected to a media base (docked), undock it. See the

documentation that came with your media base for instructions.

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your

computer and then unplug it from the network wall jack.

5. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

Starting the Dell Diagnostics

When to Use the Dell Diagnostics

Problems" section in your User's Guide or Owner's Manual and run the Dell Diagnostics

●Perform tests on one or all devices.

●Select tests based on a symptom of the problem you are having.

●Choose how many times a test is run.

●Suspend testing if an error is detected.

●Access help information that describes the tests and devices.

●Receive status messages that tell you whether tests completed successfully.

●Receive error messages if problems are detected.
