4 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  
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.  
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 hard 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, 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 a hard drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing an internal hard 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.”  
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.

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, screwdrivers, 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.

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 tabletop 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

8 Windows 8 Backing up, restoring,  
and recovering  
Your computer includes tools provided by HP and the operating system to help you safeguard your  
information and retrieve it if you ever need to. These tools will help you return your computer to a  
proper working state or even back to the original factory state, all with simple steps.  
This chapter provides information about the following processes:  
Creating recovery media and backups  
Restoring and recovering your system  
NOTE: This guide describes an overview of backing up, restoring and recovering options. For more  
details about the tools provided, see Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select  
Help and Support.  
Creating recovery media and backups  
Recovery after a system failure is only as good as your most recent backup.  
1. After you successfully set up the computer, create HP Recovery media. This step creates a backup  
of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup can be used to reinstall the original  
operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced.  
HP Recovery media you create will provide the following recovery options:  
System Recovery—Reinstalls the original operating system and the programs that were  
installed at the factory.  
Minimized Image Recovery—Reinstalls the operating system and all hardware-related drivers  
and software, but not other software applications.  
Factory Reset—Restores the computer to the state its original factory state by deleting all  
information from the hard drive and re-creating the partitions. Then it reinstalls the operating  
system and the software that was installed at the factory.  
2. As you add hardware and software programs, create system restore points. A system restore point  
is a snapshot of certain hard drive contents saved by Windows System Restore at a specific time.  
A system restore point contains information that Windows uses, such as registry settings. Windows  
creates a system restore point for you automatically during a Windows update and during other  
system maintenance (such as a software update, security scanning, or system diagnostics). You  
can also manually create a system restore point at any time. For more information and steps for  
creating specific system restore points, see Windows Help and Support. From the Start screen,  
type h, and then select Help and Support.  
3. As you add photos, video, music, and other personal files, create a backup of your personal  
information. Windows File History can be set to regularly and automatically back up files from  
88  
Chapter 8 Windows 8 Backing up, restoring, and recovering  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
libraries, desktop, contacts, and favorites. If files are accidentally deleted from the hard drive and  
they can no longer be restored from the Recycle Bin, or if files become corrupted, you can restore  
the files that you backed up using File History. Restoring files is also useful if you ever choose to  
reset the computer by reinstalling Windows or choose to recover using HP Recovery Manager.  
NOTE: File History is not enabled by default, so you must turn it on.  
For more information and steps for enabling Windows File History, see Windows Help and  
Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.  
Creating HP Recovery media  
HP Recovery Manager is a software program that offers a way to create recovery media after you  
successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be used to perform system recovery if the  
hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the  
software programs installed at the factory, and then configures the settings for the programs. HP  
Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or aid in the replacement of a hard drive.  
Only one set of HP 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 storage capacity for  
the blank USB flash drive or the number of blank DVD discs that will be required.  
To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability,  
and you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, 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; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or instead you can use a  
high-quality blank USB flash drive.  
If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you  
would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased  
separately) to create recovery discs, or you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from the  
HP website. For U.S. support, go to http://www.hp.com/go/contactHP. For worldwide support,  
go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html. If you use an external optical  
drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected  
to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.  
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery  
media.  
The creation process can take up to an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.  
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery DVDs.  
HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery  
Manager, you will be prompted to continue, and the remaining discs will be burned.  
To create HP Recovery media:  
1. From the Start screen, type recovery, and then select HP Recovery Manager.  
2. Select Recovery Media Creation, and follow the on-screen instructions to continue.  
If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 92.

Restore and recovery  
There are several options for recovering your system. Choose the method that best matches your  
situation and level of expertise:  
If you need to restore your personal files and data, you can use Windows File History to restore  
your information from the backups you created. For more information and steps for using File  
History, see Windows Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and  
Support.  
If you need to correct a problem with a preinstalled application or driver, use the Drivers and  
Applications Reinstall option of HP Recovery Manager to reinstall the individual application or  
driver.  
From the Start screen, type recovery, select HP Recovery Manager, and then select Drivers  
and Applications Reinstall, and follow the on-screen instructions.  
If you want to restore the system to a previous state without losing any personal information,  
Windows System Restore is an option. System Restore allows you to restore without the  
requirements of Windows Refresh or a reinstallation. Windows creates system restore points  
automatically during a Windows update and other system maintenance events. Even if you did not  
manually create a restore point, you can choose to restore to a previous point, automatically  
created. For more information and steps for using Windows System Restore, see Windows Help  
and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.  
If you want a quick and easy way to recover the system without losing your personal information,  
settings, or apps that came preinstalled on your computer or were purchased from the Windows  
Store, consider using Windows Refresh. This option does not require backing up data to another  
If you want to reset your computer to its original state, Windows provides an easy way to remove  
all personal data, apps, and settings, and reinstall Windows.  
If you want to reset your computer using a minimized image, you can choose the HP Minimized  
Image Recovery option from the HP Recovery partition or HP Recovery media. Minimized Image  
Recovery installs only drivers and hardware-enabling applications. Other applications included in  
the image continue to be available for installation through the Drivers and Applications Reinstall  
option in HP Recovery Manager.  
If you want to recover the computer's original factory partitioning and content, you can choose the  
System Recovery option from the HP Recovery media. For more information, see Recovering using  
If you have replaced the hard drive, you can use the Factory Reset option of HP Recovery media to  
restore the factory image to the replacement drive. For more information, see Recovering using HP  
If you wish to remove the recovery partition to reclaim hard drive space, HP Recovery Manager  
offers the Remove Recovery Partition option.

the selection for an optical drive or a USB flash drive.  
To change the boot order:  
1. Insert the HP Recovery media you created.  
2. Restart the computer.  
3. Press and hold esc while the computer is restarting, and then press f9 for boot options.  
4. Select the optical drive or USB flash drive you want to boot from.  
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Removing the HP Recovery partition  
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to remove the HP Recovery partition to free up hard drive  
space.  
IMPORTANT: Removing the HP Recovery partition means you can no longer use Windows Refresh,  
the Windows Remove everything and reinstall Windows option, or the HP Recovery Manager option  
for minimized image recovery. Create HP Recovery media before removing the Recovery partition to  
ensure you have recovery options; see Creating HP Recovery media on page 89.

9 Ubuntu Linux Backing up,  
restoring, and recovering  
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. As you add new software and  
data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably  
current backup.  
Performing a system recovery  
The Deja Dup Restore Tool allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You  
can create an image restore DVD using a DVD±RW optical drive. You can also create a restore image  
on a USB storage device.  
CAUTION: Using Restore completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All  
files you have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The  
recovery tool reinstalls the original operating system and programs and drivers that were installed at  
the factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed at the factory must be manually reinstalled.  
Personal files must be restored from a backup.  
NOTE: HP recommends that you create the image restore in the event of a system failure.  
Creating the restore DVDs  
The restore creation software creates a set of system restore discs using blank, writable DVDs (DVD-R or  
DVD+R). HP recommends using blank DVD+R discs from a manufacturer you trust, because these  
recovery DVDs are so important. You need approximately 3 blank DVD+R discs. The program states  
how many discs are needed at the beginning of the process.  
To create restore DVDs:  
1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings  
> Backup.  
2. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to  
Backup Location, and select the DVD from the drop-down list.  
3. Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Back Up Now.  
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Creating a restore image on a USB device  
NOTE: Be sure AC power is connected to the computer you begin.  
Verify the exact amount of free space on your storage device before you begin the creation process.  
For most models, you will need at least 8 GB of free space on the storage device. However, depending  
Performing a system recovery  
95  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
on the drivers and software installed on your computer, you may need slightly more than 8 GB of  
space. HP recommends that you use a 16 GB device or above for best results.  
IMPORTANT: Remember to insert your USB device into the USB port on the computer before starting  
this procedure.  
To create the restore image:  
1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings  
> Backup.  
2. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to  
Backup location, and select the USB device from the drop-down list.  
NOTE: If the USB device is not listed in the drop-down list for Backup Location, select Local  
Folder, and then click the Choose Folder button. Select the USB device from the panel on the  
left side of the Choose Folder window, and click OK.  
3. Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Backup Now.  
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Performing recovery using the restore DVD  
NOTE: The following procedure uses the F11 BIOS Recovery feature to perform the recovery.  
1. If possible, back up all personal files.  
2. Shut down the computer.  
3. Be sure the restore DVD or USB device is connected to the computer.  
4. Restart the computer.  
5. Using the arrow keys, select Recovery, and then press enter.  
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
NOTE: If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer, and you did not create a system recovery  
disc, you must purchase an Ubuntu Operating System DVD to reinstall the operating system. For  
additional information, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet.  
Backing up your information  
You should back up your computer files on a regular schedule to maintain a current backup. You can  
manually back up your information to an optional external drive, a network drive, discs, or the Ubuntu  
One website. Back up your system at the following times:  
At regularly scheduled times  
Before the computer is repaired or restored  
Before you add or modify hardware or software  
To back up your home directory files to the Ubuntu One website using the Deja Dup Backup Tool:

NOTE: Before you back up your information, be sure you have designated a location to save the  
backup files.  
1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings  
> Backup icon.  
2. Select Folders from the panel on the left side of the window, and beneath Folders to back up,  
select the folders to back up.  
3. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to  
Backup Location, and select Ubuntu One from the drop-down list.  
4. Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Back Up Now.  
NOTE: The first time you back up your files to Ubuntu One, you will need to create an account  
to sign into Ubuntu One. Enter your email address and password into the account sign-in boxes  
and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the sign-in process.  
To restore backup files:  
1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings  
> Backup icon.  
2. Click Restore, select the location of the backup files and the folder name, and then click  
Forward.  
3. Under Restore from When?, select the date of the files to be restored, and then click  
Forward.  
4. Select the location and folder where the files are to be restored, and then click Forward.  
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.  
6. Click Restore to start restoring the files, or click Cancel to cancel the operation.  
NOTE: You may also back up to cloud storage services provided by various companies. For a small  
fee, they will keep your backup for you. A cloud service is recommended, since it is an easy way to  
keep your backups off-site and safe.
