Testing suspect system after reassembly

CSteger · 2012-01-05T20:41:21Z

Good day,I just finished imaging and analyzing a Dell Inspiron N4010. As some of you already know, to access the hard drive the system has to be (basically) disassembled.As this is the first system I have done which required a complete tear down, my question is. Is it an acceptable practice to power on to P.O.S.T. to verify proper re-assembly and operation of such a system after being imaged and analyzed? Or is this something that should be done immediately prior to the system being released to its owner?And yes, I do know once the system is powered on things begin to change on it.

Thanks again for the informative responses. Being a relative newcomer to the forensic side of computers there are more questions than answers. I never power on test anything after imaging and reassembly, just for some reason I had a concern with this particular laptop.
