Tools required  
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:  
Flat-bladed screw driver  
Magnetic screw driver  
Phillips P00 and P0 screw drivers  
Torx5 screw driver  
Service considerations  
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly and  
assembly procedures.  
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all  
accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.  
Plastic parts  
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care when  
handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.  
20 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement preliminary requirements  
         
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. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid  
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or  
snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.  
Drive handling  
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the computer,  
damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:  
Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or  
in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.  
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid  
touching the connector.  
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and be sure  
that the optical drive tray is closed.  
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.  
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.  
After removing drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing a drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.  
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.  
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging  
and label the package “FRAGILE.”  
Service considerations 21  
     
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.  
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or  
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.  
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal  
cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its  
life expectancy.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal components,  
observe these precautions:  
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.  
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in  
this section.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.  
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.  
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different activities.  
CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.

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.  
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.  
Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.  
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that mechanized  
equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid  
static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.  
Workstation guidelines  
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:  
Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.  
Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools  
and equipment.  
Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screw drivers, and vacuums.  
When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-safe materials.  
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.  
Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these items  
only at static-free workstations.  
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.  
Grounding guidelines 23  
     
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. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips to  
connect a wrist strap.  
When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be  
used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors  
or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance between  
the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be worn in contact with the skin.  
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:  
Antistatic tape  
Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors  
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids  
Nonconductive foam  
Conductive computerop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance  
Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground  
Field service kits  
Static awareness labels  
Material-handling packages  
Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes  
Metal tote boxes

NOTE: If you cannot create recovery media yourself, contact support to obtain recovery discs. Go to  
http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and then follow the on-screen instructions.  
Before you begin  
Before you begin, note the following:  
Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in a  
safe place.  
HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required media storage capacity.  
To create recovery media, use one of the following options:  
NOTE: If the computer does not have a recovery partition, HP Recovery Manager displays the Windows  
Create a Recovery Drive feature. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a recovery image on a blank  
USB flash drive or hard drive.  
If your computer has an optical drive with DVD writer capability, be sure to use only high-quality blank  
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW,  
double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs, which are not compatible with HP  
Recovery Manager software.  
If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, you can use  
an external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, as described above. If an  
external optical drive is used, you must connect it directly to a USB port on the computer. It cannot be  
connected to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.  
To create a recovery flash drive, use a high-quality blank USB flash drive.  
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media.  
The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt this process.  
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery media. HP  
Recovery Manager will finish the current DVD or flash drive. The next time you start HP Recovery Manager,  
you will be prompted to continue.
