Customer self repair 
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and 
allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period 
HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the 
use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of 
CSR parts: 
•  Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace 
these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service. 
•  Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for 
customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not 
be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product. 
NOTE:  Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer 
warranty, HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified 
as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog. 
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day 
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography 
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will 
help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part 
whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective 
part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five 
(5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the 
provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the 
replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and 
determine the courier/carrier to be used. 
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. 
For the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair
Parts only warranty service 
Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms of parts only 
warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge. 
For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace 
these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
