Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
●
Flat-bladed screw driver
●
Magnetic 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 slate, 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 slate, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the
reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the slate.
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.
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.
Tools required27
Page 36
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 slate 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 staticsafe 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 guidelines29
Page 38
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 slateop 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

Updating the BIOS
Updated versions of the BIOS may be available on the HP website.
Most BIOS updates on the HP website are packaged in compressed files called SoftPaqs.
Some download packages contain a file named Readme.txt, which contains information regarding installing
and troubleshooting the file.
Determining the BIOS version
To determine whether available BIOS updates contain later BIOS versions than those currently installed on
the slate, you need to know the version of the system BIOS currently installed.
BIOS version information (also known as ROM date and System BIOS) can be revealed by pressing fn+esc (if
you are already in Windows) or by using Slate Setup.
1.Start Slate Setup.
2.Use a pointing device, the arrow keys, or touch the screen to select Main > System Information.

Downloading a BIOS update
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of damage to the slate or an unsuccessful installation, download and install a
BIOS update only when the slate is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do not
download or install a BIOS update while the slate is running on battery power, docked in an optional docking
device, or connected to an optional power source. During the download and installation, follow these
instructions:
Do not disconnect power on the slate by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
Do not shut down the slate or initiate Sleep.
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.
1.Access Help and Support by selecting Start > Help and Support.
2.Select Updates and tune-ups, and then select Check for HP updates now.
3.At the download area, follow these steps:
a.Identify the most recent BIOS update and compare it to the BIOS version currently installed on
your slate. Make a note of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this information to
locate the update later, after it has been downloaded to your hard drive.
b.Follow the on-screen instructions to download your selection to the hard drive.
If the update is more recent than your BIOS, make a note of the path to the location on your hard
drive where the BIOS update is downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready
to install the update.
NOTE:If you connect your slate to a network, consult the network administrator before installing any
software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are revealed on the screen after the download
is complete. If no instructions are revealed, follow these steps:

1.Select Start > Slate.
2.Click your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3.Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your hard drive that contains the
update.
4.Double-click the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
5.Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the downloaded file
from your hard drive.
Synchronizing the slate and keyboard
When you attach the slate to the keyboard and restart the slate, the BIOS checks to see if the Embedded
Controller firmware on the keyboard needs to be synchronized, and will start the synchronization. If the
synchronization is interrupted, a notification screen displays for 10 seconds before the slate restarts and
attempts to synchronize again.
NOTE:The Embedded Controller firmware will only synchronize if the slate or keyboard battery is more
than 50% charged, or if your slate is connected to AC power.
Using MultiBoot
About the boot device order
As the slate starts, the system attempts to boot from enabled devices. The MultiBoot utility, which is enabled
at the factory, controls the order in which the system selects a boot device. Boot devices can include optical
drives, diskette drives, a network interface card (NIC), hard drives, and USB devices. Boot devices contain
bootable media or files that the slate needs to start and operate properly.
NOTE:Some boot devices must be enabled in Slate Setup before they can be included in the boot order.
You can change the order in which the slate searches for a boot device by changing the boot order in Slate
Setup. You can also press esc while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” message is displayed at the
bottom of the screen, and then press f9. Pressing f9 displays a menu that shows the current boot devices and
allows you to select a boot device. Or, you can use MultiBoot Express to set the slate to prompt you for a boot
location each time the slate turns on or restarts.
