SDRAM module

•

speaker assembly

•

display interface PCA

•

volume PCA

•

CPU module

•

PCMCIA socket

•

mini-PCI card #1 (if present)

•

mini-PCI card #2 (if present)

•

Follow the reassembly notes in the section entitled “Removing the Motherboard or Bottom Case”

on page 2-25.

Note: After Replacing the Motherboard

After replacing the motherboard, you must use the Service Utility floppy disk to store the system data and display information in the EEPROM on the new motherboard.

1. Connect a floppy disk drive module: insert the module into the notebook, or connect it to the computer using an F2008 external floppy drive cable.

2. Plug in an AC adapter.

3. Insert the Service Utilities floppy disk in the floppy drive.

4. Turn on the computer.

5. If you hear 5 beeps, press F1 to update the display data stored on the motherboard. Let the computer reboot and go to the next step.

6. Select the Serial Number option from the boot menu.

Replacing the Bottom Case

Installation Procedure

Transfer the SDRAM cover and sound/IR panel from the old bottom case to the new bottom case.

Install a new Microsoft Product ID label.

Transfer the old serial number label and install a new overlay, or create a new serial number label

using the steps below. Follow the “Reassembly Notes” on page 2-24.

Installing a New Serial Number Label

Download the latest version of the serial number label template (Microsoft Word format) from the Partnership web site (see page vi) under Support/Service in Technical Support Information. The latest version includes fields for warranty period and manufacturing location. Store the template with other Word templates on a PC connected to a laser printer.

Open a new document based on the serial label template.

Enter the information from the old serial label, and print the new label on plain white paper. The

new label does not have barcodes. Carefully cut out the new serial label just inside the border and place it into the inner recess in the

bottom case. The bottom of the label goes toward the front of the case. While holding the paper label in place, attach a serial label overlay into the outer recess. The

overlay covers and protects the serial label. Make sure all regulatory labels that were on the old bottom case are also on the new bottom case.

You can do this by keeping the old covers, if necessary.

Repairing the BIOS IC

(HP Authorized Service Providers Only)

The notebook’s BIOS IC cannot be replaced separately. If it is defective, you must replace the motherboard. In some cases, however, you may be able to reprogram a malfunctioning BIOS IC using either e-DiagTools for Windows, a BIOS floppy disk, or a Crisis Recovery floppy disk.

If the notebook will boot sufficiently, use e-DiagTools for Windows or a BIOS floppy disk to reprogram the BIOS IC. If you cannot boot the notebook adequately, use a Crisis Recovery floppy disk. See below for instructions for all three methods.

Caution

The BIOS update completely replaces the previous BIOS, so follow the directions in this section

exactly

BIOS Setup utility—except for BIOS passwords—so record these before performing the update.

Using a BIOS Floppy Disk

Use a BIOS floppy disk to update the notebook’s BIOS as follows:

or you might damage the notebook. The BIOS update also resets the configurations in the

Undock the notebook if it is docked, and remove any PC cards from it. Connect a floppy disk drive module: insert the module into the notebook, or connect it to the

notebook’s parallel port using an F2008 external floppy drive cable. Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.

Insert the BIOS floppy disk into the floppy drive.

Turn on the notebook. When the notebook boots, follow the instructions that appear on screen.

When the process is completed, press the system-off switch to reset the system.

BIOS updates are also available from the HP Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport). Installation utilities and instructions for creating a BIOS floppy disk are provided with the updates.

Using e-DiagTools for Windows

If the notebook allows you to boot into Windows, you may be able to use e-DiagTools for Windows to update the notebook’s BIOS as follows:

In Windows, exit any programs that are running.

Undock the notebook if it is docked, and remove any PC cards from it.

Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.

Connect any cables or equipment needed to connect to the Internet.

Consider Causes.

•

If there are multiple symptoms, separate them into distinct problems.

Keep in mind possible causes for each problem. Use the diagnostic tools and

troubleshooting suggestions to help find possible causes.



The e-Diagtools diagnostic program tests most of the notebook’s components using automatic

and interactive tests, and will be your primary troubleshooting tool. Other tools include the power-on self-test, WMI/Toptools (if installed), the BIOS Setup utility, and the Sycard PCCtest. Table 3-1 on page 3-5 shows how you can use these tools to isolate the cause of the computer’s problem.



The troubleshooting suggestions on page 3-6 include general suggestions for repairing units

that show specific failure symptoms.

HP Omnibook XT6050, XT/VT6200 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 3-3

Page 60

Swapping modules that may be defective with others known to be good is generally an ideal way to find the module responsible for the problem. A failure symptom is rarely caused by more than one module, so you will not usually need to replace more than one to correct a particular failure.

After you replace a module, the notebook will normally be in a confused state and lock up when you apply power. If this happens, press the system-off switch: this resets the notebook, so that you can restart it in a known state.

Verifying the Repair

Before returning the repaired unit to the customer, verify the repair by running the following tests:

Power-On Self-Test

Note

If Quiet Boot is enabled in BIOS Setup (the default setting), press Esc during boot to see POST messages.

When the notebook boots, its system BIOS runs a series of initialization routines and diagnostic tests called POST (Power-On Self-Test). The BIOS will not boot the notebook’s operating system if certain components fail the POST diagnostic tests. POST indicates progress by a sequence of codes; if an error occurs, the BIOS displays a message and/or issues a beep code.

Note that not all POST messages indicate a failure in the notebook—some messages are for information only. You should not necessarily interpret the failure of one or more POST tests as a hardware, software, or firmware failure. If POST displays an error message or issues a beep code indicating an error,

First, confirm the failure by performing a “clean” boot, as described below: If the notebook fails to restart with a clean boot, it requires repair.

Remove all accessories, including SDRAM modules, floppy drive, port replicator, PC cards,

Windows M anagement Instrumentation (WMI)

The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is basically a set of rules for accessing information about a computer. WMI allows an application to determine, for example, the operating system being used, which hardware and software components are in the computer, and possibly whether any of the components need replacing. A local or remote application can use the WMI interface to check which hardware and software components are installed on your computer, and may be able to tell how well they are working or if they need replacement.

Installing the WMI Package

The WMI package is either preinstalled on the computer’s hard disk or can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/toptools (the contents are the same in both cases). The package must be properly installed before it can be used.

To install the WMI preloaded on the hard disk:

Start Windows, if it is not already running.

Click Start, Programs (or All Programs), HP Toptools, Setup.

Using WMI

For a complete description of how to use WMI, see the following documentation provided with the computer:

A README.TXT file: click Start, Programs, HP Toptools, Read me.

•

A Windows online help file describing Hewlett-Packard’s implementation of WMI (group and

•

attribute definitions): click Start, Programs, HP Toptools, HP Toptools Help.

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup utility provides access to the notebook’s basic configuration settings. It is independent of the operating system.

Running the BIOS Setup Utility

Close all applications, then restart the notebook: click Start, Shut Down (Windows 2000) or Turn

Off Computer (Windows XP), Restart. (If necessary, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.) When the HP logo appears, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.

The pointing devices are not active in BIOS Setup, so you will need to use the keyboard to

navigate:

Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move among menus.

•

Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to move among parameters in a menu.

•

Press F5 or F6 to move through values for the current parameter, or press Enter to change a

Updating the Notebook’s BIOS

Hewlett-Packard may from time to time provide updates to the notebook’s BIOS. Use e-DiagTools for Windows to download and install these BIOS updates as needed—see “Using e-DiagTools for Windows” on page 2-29.

Caution

The BIOS update completely replaces the previous BIOS, so follow these directions exactly or you might damage the notebook. The BIOS update also resets the configurations in the BIOS Setup utility—except for BIOS passwords—so record these before performing the update.

Update the notebook’s BIOS as follows:

In Windows, exit any programs that are running.

Undock the notebook if it is docked, and remove any PC cards from it.

Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.

Connect any cables or equipment needed to connect to the Internet.

Click Start, Programs (or All Programs), HP e-DiagTools, e-DiagTools for Windows.

Click Update, select Download New and click OK. Follow the instructions that appear.

Once the

update process begins, do not interrupt it.

The first time you make an Internet connection from this program on a particular unit, click Change Settings in the Connect window to define your connection settings.

When the process is completed, press the system-off switch to reset the system.
