1.2 Resetting the Computer

If the computer you are servicing has an unknown password, follow these steps to clear the password. These steps also clear CMOS:

1.Prepare the computer for disassembly (refer to Section 6.3, “Preparing the Computer for Disassembly,” for more information).

2.Remove the real-time clock (RTC) battery (refer to Section 6.11, “RTC Battery,” for more information on removing and replacing the RTC battery).

3.Wait approximately 5 minutes.

4.Replace the RTC battery and reassemble the computer.

5.Connect AC power to the computer. Do not reinsert any battery packs at this time.

6.Turn on the computer.

All passwords and all CMOS settings have been cleared.

Product Description

1.5 Design Overview

This section presents a design overview of key parts and features of the computer. Refer to Chapter 4, “Illustrated Parts Catalog,” to identify replacement parts, and Chapter 6, “Removal and Replacement Procedures,” for disassembly steps.

The system board provides the following device connections:

Audio

Display

Hard drive

Intel Pentium M processors

Keyboard

Memory module

Mini PCI communications devices

PC Card

Pointing stick

TouchPad

Trusted platform module (TPM) security module

ÄCAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6--cm (3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the computer.

The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to be turned on automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software applications. Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.

Troubleshooting

ÅWARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP should repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly-/module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or printed wiring board modification may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

2.1Computer Setup

Computer Setup is a preinstalled, ROM-based utility that can be used even when the operating system is not working or will not load. If the operating system is working, the computer restarts the operating system after you exit Computer Setup.

Pointing devices are not supported in Computer Setup; you must use the keyboard to navigate and make selections.

The menu tables later in this chapter provide an overview of Computer Setup options.
