Getting Information and Updates
Limited Warranty
The warranty details the Compaq commitment to repair or replace parts during the computer’s warranty period and lists important Compaq telephone numbers. In the event of a mechanical problem, contact Compaq, not the retailer who sold you the computer.
Keep the warranty in a safe place for future reference.
Replacing Parts
For hardware upgrade and installation instructions, refer to the documentation included with the hardware component or to the
Hardware Reference Guide on the Documentation Library CD that came with your computer. Compaq recommends that you print the instructions on the Documentation Library CD to make the installation process easier.
If you experience a problem and are unable to resolve the issue after referring to the Hardware Reference Guide, contact Technical Support. If the technician determines a replacement part is necessary, you will be sent the replacement part with illustrated instructions for removing the factory-installed part and replacing it.
Upgrading the Computer
You can expand your computer performance with hardware upgrades, such as memory and additional peripherals, such as a digital camera and a printer. To view options available from Compaq, visit the online store at (not available in all regions):
