=== Reassembly cautions === * '''Insert the flat flexible cables squarely.''' Psion warn that inserting an FFC at an angle can cause short or open circuits, and that the existing bends in the cables must be retained so everything lines up on the mainboard.<ref name="s5sm" /> * '''Watch the pen eject mechanism.''' Its spring drops out if you are not careful while replacing the base.<ref name="s5sm" /> * '''Have the machine open when refitting the mainboard and the base''', so the on/off and door-warning switches are not fouled.<ref name="s5sm" /> * '''Leave the CompactFlash and battery doors open''' during reassembly.<ref name="s5sm" /><ref name="pitc" /> * '''Do not over-tighten the case screws.''' They bite into the chassis โ in this case, into your print.<ref name="s5sm" /> * Expect to need patience. As one recent account put it, the original designer appears to have had three arms.<ref name="pitc" />
