Removal and replacement procedures

preliminary requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Magnetic screwdriver
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers
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
34
Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements
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.
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.
Avoid exposing an internal 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.
Service considerations

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.
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.

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.
Grounding guidelines
37
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 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

10 Windows Backing up, restoring, and

recovering
This chapter provides information about the following processes:
Creating recovery media and backups
Restoring and recovering your system
NOTE: This chapter describes an overview of backing up, restoring and recovering options. For more details
about the tools provided, see the HP Support Assistant. To access the HP Support Assistant, from the Start
screen, select the HP Support Assistant app. Use the search field to access information about backup,
restore, refresh, and other recovery topics, and then follow the information provided.
Creating recovery media and backups

1.
After you successfully set up the computer, create HP Recovery media. This step creates a backup of the
HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup can be used to reinstall the original operating
system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced.
HP Recovery media you create will provide the following recovery options:
System RecoveryReinstalls the original operating system and the programs that were installed
at the factory.
Minimized Image RecoveryReinstalls the operating system and all hardware-related drivers and
software, but not other software applications.
Factory ResetRestores the computer to the state its original factory state by deleting all
information from the hard drive and re-creating the partitions. Then it reinstalls the operating
system and the software that was installed at the factory.
See Creating recovery media and backups on page 100.

2.
Use the Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information. For
more information and steps, see the HP Support Assistant. To access the HP Support Assistant, from
the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app. Use the search field to access information about
backup, restore, refresh, and other recovery topics, and then follow the information provided.
Creating HP Recovery media

HP Recovery Manager is a software program that offers a way to create recovery media after you
successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be used to perform system recovery if the hard
drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the software
programs installed at the factory, and then configures the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can
also be used to customize the system or restore the factory image if you replace the hard drive.
Only one set of HP Recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep
them in a safe place.
HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for the
blank USB flash drive or the number of blank DVD discs that will be required.
100 Chapter 10 Windows Backing up, restoring, and recovering
To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and you
must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable discs
such as CDRW, DVDRW, double-layer DVDRW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not
compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or instead you can use a high-quality blank USB flash
drive.
If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you would
like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased separately) to
create recovery discs, or you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from support. See the
Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer. You can also find contact
information from the HP website. For U.S. support, go to http://www.hp.com/go/contactHP. For
worldwide support, go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html. If you use an
external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be
connected to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media.
The creation process can take up to an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery DVDs. HP
Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery Manager,
you will be prompted to continue, and the remaining discs will be burned.
To create HP Recovery media:

1.
From the Start screen, type recovery, and then select HP Recovery Manager.
2.
Select Recovery Media Creation, and follow the on-screen instructions to continue.
If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 102.
Restore and recovery

11 Ubuntu Linux Backing up, restoring, and

recovering
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. 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.
Performing a system recovery

The Deja Dup Restore Tool allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You can
create an image restore DVD using a DVDRW optical drive. You can also create a restore image on a USB
storage device.
CAUTION: Using Restore completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All files you
have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The recovery tool
reinstalls the original operating system and programs and drivers that were installed at the factory.
Software, drivers, and updates not installed at the factory must be manually reinstalled. Personal files must
be restored from a backup.
NOTE: HP recommends that you create the image restore in the event of a system failure.
Creating the restore DVDs

The restore creation software creates a set of system restore discs using blank, writable DVDs (DVD-R or DVD
+R). HP recommends using blank DVD+R discs from a manufacturer you trust, because these recovery DVDs
are so important. You need approximately 3 blank DVD+R discs. The program states how many discs are
needed at the beginning of the process.
To create restore DVDs:
1.
Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings > Backup.
2.
Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to Backup
Location, and select the DVD from the drop-down list.
3.
Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Back Up Now.
4.
Creating a restore image on a USB device

NOTE: Be sure AC power is connected to the computer you begin.
Verify the exact amount of free space on your storage device before you begin the creation process. For most
models, you will need at least 8 GB of free space on the storage device. However, depending on the drivers
and software installed on your computer, you may need slightly more than 8 GB of space. HP recommends
that you use a 16 GB device or above for best results.
IMPORTANT: Remember to insert your USB device into the USB port on the computer before starting this
procedure.
Performing a system recovery 105
