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  
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers  
Torx T8 screwdriver  
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.  
Preliminary replacement requirements 25

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 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 a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing a 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, and 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.  
Use nonmagnetic tools.  
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, 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 strips  
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

7 Backup and recovery  
To protect your information, use Windows Backup and Restore to back up individual files and folders,  
back up your entire hard drive (select models only), create system repair discs (select models only)  
by using the installed optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical drive, or create  
system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents  
of your computer.  
Windows Backup and Restore provides the following options:  
Creating a system repair disc (select models only) by using the installed optical drive (select  
models only) or an optional external optical drive  
Backing up your information  
Creating a system image (select models only)  
Scheduling automatic backups (select models only)

Creating recovery media with HP Recovery Disc Creator  
HP Recovery Disc Creator is a software program that offers an alternative way to create recovery  
media. After you successfully set up the computer, you can create recovery media using HP  
Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery media performs a system recovery if the hard drive becomes  
corrupted. A 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 Disc Creator can create two kinds of recovery DVDs as follows:  
Windows DVD—Installs the operating system without additional drivers or applications.  
Choosing this selection creates a DVD that restores the original operating system and the  
software programs installed at the factory.  
Driver DVD—Installs specific drivers and applications only, in the same way that the HP  
Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications.  
Creating recovery media  
NOTE: Operating system recovery media can be created only once. Thereafter, the option to create  
that media will not be available.  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Productivity and Tools > HP Recovery Disc Creator.  
2. Select Windows disk or Driver disk.  
3. From the drop-down menu, select the drive for burning the recovery media.  
4. Click the Create button to start the burning process.

Backing up your information  
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. Immediately after software  
setup, you should create system repair discs (select models only) using HP Recovery Disc Creator  
and the installed optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical drive to back up your  
system. 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. The system repair discs (select models only)  
are used to start up (boot) the computer and repair the operating system in case of system instability  
or failure. Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to restore your data and settings if a failure  
occurs.  
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.  
Note the following when backing up:  
Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly.  
Back up templates that are stored in their associated programs.  
Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot  
of your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.  
When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R,  
CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, or DVD±RW. The discs you use will depend  
on the type of external optical drive you are using.  
NOTE: DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support store more information than CDs, so  
using them for backup reduces the number of recovery discs required.  
When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into the external drive.  
To create a backup using Backup and Restore:  
NOTE: Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.  
NOTE: The backup process may take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the  
computer.  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your backup, create a system image (select models  
only), or create a system repair disc (select models only).

Performing a system recovery  
In case of system failure or instability, the computer provides the following tools to recover your files:  
Windows recovery tools: You can use Windows Backup and Restore to recover information you  
have previously backed up. You can also use Windows Startup Repair to fix problems that might  
prevent Windows from starting correctly.  
f11 recovery tools: You can use the f11 recovery tools to recover your original hard drive image.  
The image includes the Windows operating system and software programs installed at the  
factory.  
NOTE: If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer and you cannot use the system repair  
discs you previously created (select models only), you must purchase a Windows 7 operating system  
DVD to reboot the computer and repair the operating system. For additional information, refer to  
Using the Windows recovery tools  
To recover information you previously backed up:  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to recover your system settings, your computer (select models  
only), or your files.  
To recover your information using Startup Repair, follow these steps:  
CAUTION: Using Startup Repair 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. When reformatting is complete, the recovery process restores the operating system, as well  
as the drivers, software, and utilities from the backup used for recovery.  
1. If possible, back up all personal files.  
2. If possible, check for the presence of the Windows partition and the HP Recovery partition.  
To check for the Windows partition, select Start > Computer.  
To check for the HP Recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and  
then click Disk Management.  
NOTE: If the HP Recovery partition has been deleted, the f11 restore option will not function.  
You must recover your operating system and programs using the Windows 7 operating system  
DVD and the Driver Recovery disc (both purchased separately) if the Windows partition and the  
HP Recovery partition are not listed. For additional information, refer to Using a Windows 7  
3. If the Windows partition and the HP Recovery partition are listed, restart the computer, and then  
press f8 before the Windows operating system loads.  
4. Select Startup Repair.  
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
NOTE: For additional information on recovering information using the Windows tools, perform a

Using f11 recovery tools  
CAUTION: Using f11 recovery tools 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 f11 recovery tool reinstalls the operating system and HP programs and drivers that  
were installed at the factory. Software not installed at the factory must be reinstalled.  
To recover the original hard drive image using f11:  
1. If possible, back up all personal files.  
2. If possible, check for the presence of the HP Recovery partition: click Start, right-click  
Computer, click Manage, and then click Disk Management.  
NOTE: If the HP Recovery partition is not listed, you must recover your operating system and  
programs using the Windows 7 operating system DVD and the Driver Recovery disc (both  
purchased separately). For additional information, refer to Using a Windows 7 operating system  
3. If the HP Recovery partition is listed, restart the computer, and then press esc while the “Press  
the ESC key for Startup Menu” message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

or region, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also order the DVD by calling technical  
support. For contact information, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with  
the computer.  
CAUTION: Using a Windows 7 operating system DVD 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. When reformatting is complete, the recovery process helps you restore the  
operating system, as well as drivers, software, and utilities.  
To initiate recovery using a Windows 7 operating system DVD:  
NOTE: This process takes several minutes.  
1. If possible, back up all personal files.  
2. Restart the computer, and then insert the Windows 7 operating system DVD into the optical  
drive before the Windows operating system loads.  
3. When prompted, press any keyboard key.
