A technician is taking apart a laptop in order to replace an internal part. During this process, which of the following represents a best practice?

While a non-conductive surface helps with ESD, plastic counter tops alone do not represent the most critical best practice for laptop disassembly.

Power tools are not prohibited - using an appropriate low-torque driver is acceptable; the concern is using the correct bit and torque, not avoiding power tools entirely.

Laptop manufacturers use screws of varying lengths, diameters, and thread pitches throughout the chassis, and incorrectly reassembling them can cause stripped threads, cracked housing, or permanent damage to the motherboard or other components. Labeling screws with their originating location during disassembly ensures correct reinstallation. This practice is specifically recommended in CompTIA A+ hardware maintenance guidelines.

The position of the screen lid has no established relationship to best practices for working on the bottom of the laptop chassis.
