There is no danger, assuming you have removed the power and battery.
Having said that, since you have posted this in the laptops section, I assume it is a laptop you want to take apart. Depending on what kind of laptop you have there are likely to be many parts and many screws. Be very careful to make sure you keep track of what goes where or you may not be able to put it back together again.
Some people go so far as to draw out a little map for themselves to help them keep it straight. I usually just put the screws back in the hold I took them out of. So if I removed a board that had 2 screws holding it in place, I would set the board aside and then put the 2 screws back in the holes in the board.

Not normally. Dismantling the pc is safe as long as its unplugged. also theres no risk of shock or exposure to chemicals if you dont try taking apart the actual computer chips and components....
Be warned though. The power supply can still hold a nice amount of charge for a while so i wouldnt go poking a round with a screwdriver anywhere in there....
another warning is that if you ever want to take apart a monitor be very carefull not to mess with the compionents , even a monitor that has not been plugged in for a while can still hold enouugh of a charge to kill you...

Yes it can be, Only if you touch compactors because they are sometime still charged. As for IC chips and resistor no, and maybe a few LED(Light Emitting Dioide). Make sure if you do open a computer take off all metal object off the body. also if your working on one use a ESD strap this is a band that help you discharge your own electricty and if in case the computer does schock you it will go stright to ground safly.

not at all, it is great fun with the possibility of learning something new.
start with a computer that you DO NOT own.
be careful not to bust anything or release dangerous toxic substances. then reassemble it as well as you can, using as many of the parts that you might have removed. best to not plug it in when you are finished.

You should keep the power supply on and touch the PSU to release any static your body might have.
That way when you touch the components, you wont static and fry them.

Unplug any power sources and peripherals, and make sure you ground yourself by touching a metal surface before touching components.

It is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Static electricity is a big killer of components...plus you have to make sure everything is unplugged and discharged.

I hav'nt got a clue, and I repair them all the time. All my computers have been dumpster jobs. Lets face it, there just aren't that many pieces in there.

turn the power off- you are safe
touch the case before you touch anything else- the computer is safe
