3 Removal and replacement preliminary
requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
●Flat-bladed screw driver
●Magnetic screw driver
●Phillips P0 screw driver
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.
Grounding guidelines
Electrostatic discharge
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.
Tools required 13
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.
Typical electrostatic voltage levels
Relative humidity
Event 10% 40% 55%
Walking across carpet 35,000 V 15,000 V 7,500 V
Walking across vinyl floor 12,000 V 5,000 V 3,000 V
Motions of bench worker 6,000 V 800 V 400 V
Removing DIPS from plastic tube 2,000 V 700 V 400 V
Removing DIPS from vinyl tray 11,500 V 4,000 V 2,000 V
Removing DIPS from Styrofoam 14,500 V 5,000 V 3,500 V
Removing bubble pack from PCB 26,500 V 20,000 V 7,000 V
Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 21,000 V 11,000 V 5,000 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.
14 Chapter 3 Removal and replacement preliminary requirements
●Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or non-conductive 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, screw drivers, 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.
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 computerop 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
Grounding guidelines 15
●Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes
●Metal tote boxes
●Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials
The following table lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.
Material Use Voltage protection level
Antistatic plastics Bags 1,500 V
Carbon-loaded plastic Floor mats 7,500 V
Metallized laminate Floor mats 5,000 V

procedure for most models.
●Creating recovery media and backups
●Restoring and recovering your system
For additional information, refer to the HP Support Assistant.
▲From the Start screen, type support, and then select the HP Support Assistant app.
- or -
From the Windows desktop, click the question mark icon in the notification area, at the far right of the
taskbar.
Creating recovery media and backups (select models only)
●Use HP Recovery Manager after you successfully set up the computer, to 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.
For information on creating recovery media, see Creating HP Recovery media (select models only)
on page 46. For information on the recovery options that are available using the recovery media, see
Recovering using HP Recovery Manager (select models only) on page 48
●Use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information.
Creating HP Recovery media (select models only)
HP Recovery Manager is a software program that allows you 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.
●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, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable
discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, 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. Go to http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and
46 Chapter 8 Backing up, restoring, and recovering
follow the on-screen instructions. 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 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.
