[[File:3DO_FZ10_teardown_01.jpg|thumb|400px]]As you would do before taking apart any piece of electronic equipment, unplug all cords from the 3DO and remove any disc if there is one. To be safe, flip the power switch on after removing the power cord. You'll notice that the red LED comes on briefly and then fades away; this is because even when the 3DO, along with almost every other electronic device, is unplugged, many of its components will continue to store an electric charge. By turning the system "on," you dissipate some, but not all, of the electricity in the circuitry. This only reduces your chances of damaging the components, so do still be careful and know what you're doing before proceeding!
