Product Description
1.5 Design Overview
This section presents a design overview of key parts and features
of the notebook. 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 and Celeron M processors
■ Keyboard and TouchPad
■ Memory module
■ Mini PCI communications devices
■ PC Card
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the notebook, allow at least a 7.6-cm
Ä
(3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the notebook.
The notebook 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 notebook.

Software Update and
Software Updates
To stay current with the newest technology and maintain optimal
performance, install the latest versions of HP software on your
computer as they become available.
To update HP software:
1. Identify your computer model, product category, and series
or family. Prepare for a system BIOS update by identifying
the BIOS version currently installed on the computer.
CAUTION: If your computer is connected to a network, it is
Ä
recommended that you consult with your network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
3
Recovery
The computer system BIOS is stored on the system ROM. The
✎
BIOS initializes the operating system, determines how the
computer will interact with the hardware devices, and provides
for data transfer among hardware devices, including the time
and date.
2. Access the HP Web site at

following information:
■ The product category is Notebook.
■ The product family name and series number are printed on
the display bezel.
■ Model information is provided on the serial number label on
the bottom of the computer.
To determine whether available BIOS updates contain later BIOS
versions than those currently installed on the computer, 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 displayed by pressing
Microsoft Windows) or by opening Computer Setup.
To use Computer Setup for displaying BIOS information:

3–2 Maintenance and Service Guide
http://www.hp.com.
Software Update and Recovery
Software Updates and the HP Web Site
Most software on the HP Web site is packaged in compressed
files called SoftPaqs. Some BIOS updates may be packaged in
compressed files called ROMPaqs.
Most download packages contain a file named Readme.txt.
A Readme.txt file contains information regarding installing and
troubleshooting the file. The Readme.txt files included with
ROMPaqs are provided in English only.
Downloading a BIOS Update
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer or an unsuccessful
Ä
installation, download and install a BIOS update only when the computer
is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do not
download or install a BIOS update while the computer is running on
battery power, docked in an optional docking device, or connected to an
optional power source. During the download and installation:
■ Do not disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the
power cord from the AC outlet.
■ Do not shut down the computer or initiate standby or hibernation.
■ Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or
cord.
To download a BIOS update:
1. Access the page on the HP Web site that provides software
for your computer:
❏ Select Start > Help and Support, and then click a
software update link.
– or –
❏ Visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/support.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to identify your
computer and access the BIOS update you want to download.
Maintenance and Service Guide 3–3
Software Update and Recovery
3. At the download area:
a. Identify the BIOS update that is later than the BIOS
version currently installed on your computer. 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 instructions on the screen to download your
selection to the hard drive.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive
✎
where the BIOS update will be downloaded. You will need to
access this path when you are ready to install the update.
Installing a BIOS Update
If your computer is connected to a network, it is recommended
✎
that you consult with your network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS
updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that
are displayed on the screen after the download is complete. If no
instructions are displayed:
1. Open Windows Explorer by clicking Start > All
Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer.
2. In the left pane of the Windows Explorer window:
a. Click My Computer and then your hard drive
designation.
The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
✎
b. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the
folder on your hard drive that contains the update.
3–4 Maintenance and Service Guide
3. Double-click the file with an .exe extension (for example,
filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
4. Complete the installation by following the instructions on the
screen.
After a message on the screen reports a successful installation,
✎
you may delete the downloaded file from your hard drive.
Recovering the BIOS
The BIOS recovery procedure requires a USB diskette drive
✎
and a formatted diskette.
The BIOS can be recovered if the flash memory is corrupted.
Flash memory corruption can occur if the notebook powers down
while the BIOS is being updated.
When the notebook is turned on, the boot block portion of the
flash memory performs an integrity check on the rest of the BIOS
image and enters recovery mode if the image is corrupt.
Software Update and Recovery
BIOS recovery can be forced on a non-functioning notebook by
turning on the notebook while pressing and holding the Windows
logo key +
caps lock light blinks.
To recover the BIOS:
1. If the nonfunctioning notebook is docked in an optional
docking device, undock the notebook.
2. Attach the USB diskette drive directly to a USB port on the
nonfunctioning notebook. (USB hubs are not supported for
BIOS recovery).
Maintenance and Service Guide 3–5
B on the nonfunctioning notebook keyboard until the
Software Update and Recovery
3. Insert the correct ROMPaq diskette for the product being
updated. The BIOS image file must to be located in the root
directory of the diskette and must be in contiguous sectors.
The easiest way to ensure this is to visit
download the Softpaq, and let the Softpaq create the
ROMPaq diskette.
http://www.hp.com,
4. Press and hold the Windows logo key +
B on the notebook
keyboard (do not use an external keyboard) and turn on the
notebook and wait for the caps lock light to start blinking.
5. Release the Windows logo key +
B.
The BIOS recovery procedure takes approximately one
minute to read the image from the diskette, and then an
additional 15 seconds to program the image into flash
memory. The notebook restarts when the BIOS recovery
procedure is complete. Do not attempt to turn off the
notebook after starting a recovery.
If the BIOS recovery procedure stalls, the caps lock light will
begin blinking. This situation can arise if the diskette is
corrupt or the incorrect ROMPaq is used. If the notebook
does not restart after approximately 3 minutes, press and hold
the power button, or slide and hold the power switch, for at
least 5 seconds to force the notebook to turn itself off. Then
repeat the BIOS recovery procedure.

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
5.2 Service Considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations
that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly
procedures.
As you remove each subassembly from the notebook, place
✎
the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from
the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic Parts
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 notebook, ensure that cables are
Ä
placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process.
Improper cable placement can damage the notebook.
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. Ensure 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.
5–2 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
5.3 Preventing Damage to Removable Drives
Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled
with care. To prevent damage to the notebook, damage to a
removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following
precautions:
■ Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the
notebook. If you are unsure whether the notebook is off or
in hibernation, turn the notebook on, and then shut it down
through the operating system.
■ Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that
a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical
drive tray is closed.
■ Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of
static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the
connector.
■ 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: Handle With Care.”
Maintenance and Service Guide 5–3
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
5.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage
Many 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, the discharge
contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt
silicon junctions.
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other
conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs.
An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge might not
be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal
cycle. Or the device might function normally for a while, then
degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
5–4 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
5.5 Packaging and Transporting Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and
transporting equipment:
■ To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe
containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
■ Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with
conductive or approved containers or packaging.
■ Keep electrostatic-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 sensitive
component or assembly.
■ Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies
in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
■ Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and
roller bushings. Ensure 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.
Maintenance and Service Guide 5–5
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
5.6 Workstation Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions at workstations:
■ Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material
(refer to
■ 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 electrostatic-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.
Table 5-2, “Static-Shielding Materials”).
5.7 Grounding Equipment and Methods
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.
5–6 Maintenance and Service Guide
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
■ 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.
Other grounding equipment recommended for use in preventing
electrostatic damage includes:
■ 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
■ Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials
