A technician is tasked with replacing a damaged motherboard in a thin and light laptop. After obtaining a compatible replacement, what is the first step the technician should take before installing the new motherboard?
Remove the faulty Motherboard
Begin reassembling the device.
Test the thermal sensors of the CPU.
Disconnect the internal battery.
Before installing the new motherboard into the laptop, the technician needs to disconnect the battery to prevent any potential short-circuits or electrical damage. This is a safety protocol that must be followed to protect both the technician and the device components during installation. Testing the thermal sensors would not be the immediate concern, as these are part of validation after the motherboard installation. Reassembling the device would be one of the final steps after successfully installing the new motherboard.
