Technology Codes

HP does not change the name of a product every time the product’s technology changes. While this helps ensure continuing market momentum for HP products, it complicates technology deployment and support processes.

To help solve this problem, HP has added a technology code to the serial number of each of its products. Since the BIOS must be matched to the notebook’s hardware, the same code is used for the BIOS and the hardware. This manual refers to technology code deferences where applicable.

The table below shows the technology codes and the changes they signify for the products. Before downloading software or drivers or performing repairs, note the technology code for the HP notebook model.

Note that the first two characters of the BIOS ID (for example, GC.M1.02) indicate the hardware technology. You can also determine the BIOS ID using the BIOS Setup Utility, or by pressing ESC during the boot process when the HP logo appears.

This manual contains service information for products having the following technology codes.

Using the CD-ROM or DVD Player

The multimedia buttons on the front of the notebook control the CD-ROM/DVD player, and work in much the same way as do the controls of a standalone CD-ROM or DVD player. The CD-ROM/DVD player operates whether the notebook is on, off, or in standby or hibernate mode. (When the notebook is on, the volume control buttons also govern the volume for most other audio applications.)

If the notebook is off or in standby or hibernate mode, slide the multimedia power switch to the left to activate the player. For details about using the CD-ROM/DVD player, see the notebook’s Reference

Guide.

Internal Design

The motherboard PCA is the central component of the notebook’s design, and plays a role in virtually all system functions. The CPU module and most other subsystems connect to the motherboard.

The following figure shows the connections among the notebook’s replaceable electronic modules. In addition, the table on page 1-18 lists the roles that the replaceable modules play in each of the notebook’s functional subsystems.

Caution

Always provide proper grounding when performing repairs. Without proper grounding, an electrostatic discharge can damage the notebook and its components.

Notes

To reassemble a component, perform the removal procedure in reverse order. Any special notes required for reassembly are included at the end of each section.

Symbols like this throughout this chapter show approximate full-size screw outlines. You can use these to verify the sizes of screws before you install them. Installing a wrong-size screw can damage the notebook. (The symbol at the left represents an M2.5×5mm T-head screw.)
