Preliminary replacement requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
Flat-bladed screwdriver
●
Phillips P0 screwdriver
●
Phillips P1 screwdriver
●
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.
Preliminary replacement requirements29
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.
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.”

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.
Use nonmagnetic tools.
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.

Preliminary replacement requirements31
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.
●
32Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
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 strips 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
●
Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials

Windows 7 backup and recovery85
Note the following when backing up:
Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy
●
them to a disc.
Store personal files in the Documents library, and periodically back up this folder.
●
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
●
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.
●
When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R,
●
CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, or DVD±RW. The discs you use depend on the type of optical drive you
are using.
NOTE:DVDs store more information than CDs, so using them for backup reduces the number
of recovery discs required.
When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.
●
Save the customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of the
●
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.

2.Copy the screen:
To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press prt sc.
3.Open a word-processing document, selcet Edit> Paste.
4.Save the document.
Creating a set of recovery discs
HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its original
factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up
the computer for the first time.
NOTE:This task will require an optional external or shared optical drive.
Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only
one set of recovery discs.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
You will need high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray), or CD-R discs. All these discs
●
are purchased separately. DVDs have a larger storage capacity than CDs. If you use CDs, up to
20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs are required.
NOTE:Double-layer discs and read-write discs—such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, and BD-RE
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs—are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.
●
Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
●
86Chapter 7 Backup and recovery
Number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.
●
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The
●
next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.
NOTE:You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs (entire drive backup) as soon as you set up your
computer.
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure
or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated recovery
partition (select models only) on the hard drive. However, computers that include a solid-state drive
(SSD) may not have a recovery partition. If that is the case, recovery discs have been included with your
computer. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.
NOTE:Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already
tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager. For more information on these built-in
repair features, select Start>Help and Support.
NOTE:Recovery Manager recovers only the software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software
not provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer’s Web site or reinstalled
from the disc provided by the manufacturer.
Recovering using the recovery discs
To restore the system from the recovery discs:
1.Back up all personal files.
2.Insert the first recovery disc into an optional optical drive, and restart the computer.
3.Follow the on-screen instructions.
Recovering using the partition on the hard drive (select models only)
On some models, you can perform a recovery from the partition on the hard drive, which is accessed
by pressing either the Start button or f11. This restores the computer to its factory condition.
NOTE:Computers with an SSD may not have a recovery partition. If the computer does not have a
recovery partition, you will not be able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs have been
included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover your operating system
and software.
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:
1.Access Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:
