4 Removal and replacement procedures

CAUTION: This computer does not have user-replaceable parts. Only HP authorized service
providers should perform the removal and replacement procedures described here. Accessing the internal part could damage the computer or void the warranty.

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.
26 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
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 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.
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.

28 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
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.
Preliminary replacement requirements 29
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

7 Backup and recovery

Your computer includes tools provided by the operating system and HP to help you safeguard your information and restore it if ever needed.
This chapter provides information on the following topics:
Creating a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive (HP Recovery Manager software
feature)
Performing a system restore (from the partition, recovery discs, or a recovery flash drive)
Backing up your information
Recovering a program or driver

Restoring the system

If the computer hard drive fails, you must use a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive to restore your system to its factory image. Ideally, you have already used HP Recovery Manager to create these tools immediately after software setup.
NOTE: All references to the hard disk drive in this guide refer to the solid-state (SSD) drive
For issues other than hard drive failure, you can restore your system by using the HP Recovery partition, rather than by using recovery discs or a recovery flash drive. To check for the presence of a recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and then click Disk Management. If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the window.
CAUTION: HP Recovery Manager (partition or discs/flash drive) restores only software that was
preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled manually.

Creating restore media

HP recommends that you create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive so that you can restore your computer to its original factory state if the hard drive fails, or if for any reason you cannot restore using the recovery partition tools. Create these discs or the flash drive after setting up the computer for the first time.
NOTE: HP Recovery Manager allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs or one recovery
flash drive. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in a safe place.
NOTE: You can use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery
discs, or you can purchase recovery discs for your computer from the HP website. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.
Guidelines:
Purchase high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.
NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs, are not compatible with the HP Recovery Manager software.
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.
78 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery
Only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive can be created per computer.
NOTE: If you are creating recovery discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optional
external optical drive (purchased separately).
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs or
recovery flash drive. The next time you open HP Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the backup creation process.
To create a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Security and Protection > HP Recovery Manager > HP
Recovery Media Creation.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Performing a system recovery

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. HP Recovery Manager works from recovery discs, a recovery flash drive, or from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive.
NOTE: A system restore must be performed if the computer hard drive fails or if all attempts to
correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final attempt to correct computer issues.
Note the following when performing a system restore:
You can restore only the system that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you
use HP Recovery Manager to create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive as soon as you set up the computer.
Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already
tried these features, try them before using HP Recovery Manager to restore your system.
HP Recovery Manager restores only software that was installed at the factory. For software not
provided with this computer, you must either download the software from the manufacturer's website or reinstall the software from the disc provided by the manufacturer using an optional external optical drive (purchased separately).

Using the dedicated recovery partition

When using the dedicated recovery partition, there is an option to back up pictures, music and other audio, videos and movies, recorded TV shows, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, e-mails, Internet favorites and settings during this process.
Performing a system recovery 79
To restore the computer from the recovery partition, follow these steps:
1. Access HP Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:
Select Start > All Programs > Security and Protection > HP Recovery Manager > HP
Recovery Manager.
– or –
Turn on or 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. Then, press f11 while the “F11 (System Recovery)” message is displayed on the screen.

Backing up and recovering your information

It is very important to back up your files and keep any new software in a safe place. As you add new software and data files, continue to create backups on a regular basis.
How completely you are able to recover your system depends on how recent your backup is.
NOTE: A recovery from your most recent backup needs to be performed if the computer has a virus
attack or if any major system components fail. In order to correct computer issues, a recovery should first be attempted before a system restore is attempted.

Using Windows system restore points

A system restore point allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes.
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created
since the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your files and settings.
