procedures
Preliminary replacement requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
Magnetic screwdriver
●
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers
●
Flat-bladed screwdriver
●
Service considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you should 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.
28Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
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.
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 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.”
Preliminary replacement requirements

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.

30Chapter 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
31
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:

7Backup and recovery
Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. HP recommends that you
create recovery discs immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you
should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
Tools provided by the operating system and HP Recovery Manager software are designed to help you
with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:
Creating a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager software feature). Recovery discs are used to
●
start up (boot) your computer and restore the operating system and software programs to factory
settings in case of system failure or instability.
Backing up your information regularly to protect your important system files.
●
Creating system restore points (operating system feature). System restore points allow you to
●
reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state.
Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature). This feature helps you
●
reinstall a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.
Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager software feature). With Recovery Manager,
●
you can recover your full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery
Manager works from a dedicated recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive or from
recovery discs you create.
NOTE:Computers with a solid-state drive (SSD) may not have a recovery partition. To check for
the presence of a recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and then
click Disk Management. If the partition is present, an HP Recovery drive is listed in the
window. If a recovery partition is not present, use the recovery discs you created.
88Chapter 7 Backup and recovery
Creating 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.
Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only
one set of recovery discs.
NOTE:If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, 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 Web site.
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 and BDs have a much higher capacity than CDs. If you use CDs,
up to 20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs or BDs are required.
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 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.
●
Number each disc before inserting it into the 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.
As you add new software and data files, you should back up your system on a regular basis to
maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times:
At regularly scheduled times
●
NOTE:Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
Before the computer is repaired or restored
●
Before you add or modify hardware or software
●
Note the following when backing up:
Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy
●
them to disc.
Store personal files in the Documents library and back up this folder periodically.
●
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
●
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your
●
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document, follow these steps:
Display the screen.
1.
Copy the screen:
2.
To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press prt sc.
3.Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.
Save the document.
4.
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 will depend on the type of optical drive
installed in your computer.
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 the optical drive of the
●
computer.
90Chapter 7 Backup and recovery
Using Windows Backup and Restore
To create a backup using Windows Backup and Restore, follow these steps:
NOTE:Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.
NOTE:The backup process may take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the
computer.
1.Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up and create a backup.
2.
NOTE:Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer.
You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running
utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more information.
Using system restore points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. 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 made to your system.
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 system files and
settings.
When to create restore points
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
●
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
●
NOTE:If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
Create a system restore point
1.Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2.In the left pane, click System Protection.
3.Click the System Protection tab.
4.Under Protection Settings, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.

Performing a recovery
NOTE:You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP 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 or from a dedicated recovery partition
(select models only) on the hard drive. However, if your computer includes a solid-state drive (SSD), you
may not have a recovery partition. If that is the case, use the recovery discs that you created.
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.
NOTE:Recovery Manager recovers only 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 from the recovery discs
To restore the system from the recovery discs:
Back up all personal files.
1.
Insert the first recovery disc into an optional external optical drive and restart the computer.
2.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
