Removal and replacement procedures Preliminary replacement requirements Tools required You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures: ● Flat-bladed screwdriver ● Magnetic screwdriver ● Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers Service considerations Before disassembly or assembly procedures, review and adhere to all service considerations. NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Cables and connectors CAUTION: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer. Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion.
Grounding guidelines Electrostatic discharge damage Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
Packaging and transporting guidelines Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment: ● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes. ● Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging. ● Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
Equipment guidelines Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation. ● When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times.
Component replacement procedures This chapter provides removal and replacement procedures. There are as many as 75 screws, in 12 different sizes, that must be removed, replaced, or loosened when servicing the computer.

System resource specifications Use Device Manager to get a graphical view of the system resources that control how the devices work on the computer. System resources accessible from Device Manager are direct memory access (DMA) channels, input/output (I/O) ports, interrupt request (IRQ) lines, and memory addresses. If two devices require the same resource and create a device conflict, manually change the resource settings in Device Manager to be sure each setting is unique.
Backup and recovery Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. HP recommends creating recovery discs immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
For detailed information, perform a search for these topics in Help and Support. Creating recovery discs HP recommends creating recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the computer for the first time.
Backing up your information As you add new software and data files, back up the system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times: ● At regularly scheduled times NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
Using Windows Backup and Restore To create a backup using Windows Backup and Restore: NOTE: Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before starting the backup process. NOTE: The backup process might take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the computer.
Performing a recovery NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends using Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up the computer. Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or instability.
NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore and driver roll-back capabilities. Try these features before using Recovery Manager. NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Website or reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer.
The recovery tool reinstalls the original operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at the factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed by HP must be manually reinstalled. Personal files must be restored from a backup.
