Software Update and

Recovery

3.1 Software Updates

To stay current with the newest technology and maintain optimal performance, install the latest versions of HP software on your computer as they become available.

To update HP software:

1. Identify your computer model, product category, and series or family. Prepare for a system ROM update by identifying the ROM version currently installed on the computer. For

more information, refer to “Accessing Computer

Information.”

Ä CAUTION: If your computer is connected to a network, it is recommended that you consult with your network administrator before installing any software updates, especially system ROM updates.

The computer system ROM stores the BIOS software. The

BIOS initializes the operating system, determines how the computer will interact with the hardware devices, and provides for data transfer among hardware devices, including the time and date.

2. Access the updates through the HP Web site

( http://www.hp.com

) or the Support Software CD (purchased separately). For information about obtaining the Support

Software CD, refer to “Obtaining the Support Software CD.”

3. Install the updates.

ROM version information (also known as ROM date and System

BIOS) can be displayed by pressing fn+esc (if you are already in

Microsoft Windows) or by opening Computer Setup.

To use Computer Setup for displaying ROM information:

1. Open Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the computer, and then pressing f10 while the “F10 = ROM

Based Setup” message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

2. Use the arrow keys to select File > System Information, and then press enter .

3.2 System Recovery

The computer system recovery process provides several ways to recover optimal system functionality. For best results, attempt to recover optimal computer functionality by using the following procedures in the order described here.

3–6 Maintenance and Service Guide

Software Update and Recovery

Safeguarding Your Data

Software or devices added to the computer can cause your system to become unstable. To safeguard your documents, store personal files in the My Documents folder and periodically create a backup copy of the My Documents folder.

Altiris Local Recovery

Altiris Local Recovery is a preloaded application that protects the files on your computer by storing copies of files, called

snapshots. If files on your computer are accidentally deleted or corrupted, you can easily restore the files yourself. You can also restore your complete file system to a previous state.

Altiris Local Recovery provides protection of files by backing up files to a hidden Altiris recovery partition. When you install the software, the Recovery Agent Partition Wizard guides you through the process of creating the recovery partition. After the partition is created, the computer restarts and creates the first snapshot. After the snapshot is created, the computer restarts, making the snapshot available for recovery through Windows.

By default, Local Recovery automatically takes snapshots of your files on a regular basis. You can change the snapshot schedule.

For more information, refer to the Altiris Local Recovery Help.

To access your snapshots in the Altiris Recovery Agent folder:

1. Right-click the Altiris Recovery Agent icon on your desktop.

2. Click Open.

To restore one of the listed snapshots, drag the snapshot file to the appropriate location on your hard drive.

For more information on configuring and using Altiris Local

Recovery, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy , or open the software and click Help on the menu bar.

Maintenance and Service Guide 3–7

Software Update and Recovery

Using System Restore Points

System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state, called a restore point. A restore point is a “snapshot” of your software, drivers, and operating system files at a particular time. The computer automatically creates restore points at regular intervals and may create additional restore points when you change your personal settings or add software or hardware.

You can manually create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually create restore points

Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.

Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time.

If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can reverse the restoration.

Creating a System Restore Point

To create a system restore point:

1. Select Start > Help and Support.

2. Click System Restore.

The System Restore window opens.

3. Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

3–8 Maintenance and Service Guide

Software Update and Recovery

Restoring to a Restore Point

To restore the computer to a previous date and time when it was functioning optimally:

1. Select Start > Help and Support.

2. Click System Restore.

The System Restore window opens.

3. Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Reinstalling Applications

Applications preinstalled or preloaded on your computer can be reinstalled by using the Recovery disc or a third-party software disc.

In most cases, the applications preloaded on your computer, such as those available in the Software Setup utility, can be reinstalled from your hard drive. To access the Software Setup utility, select Start > All Programs > Software Setup.

The application reinstallation process replaces corrupted system files within the application and reinstalls deleted system files within the application.

■ In most cases: If the application you are reinstalling is still installed on your computer, the reinstallation process does not affect your settings within the application.

■ In all cases: If an application has been deleted from your computer, the reinstallation process reinstalls the application or utility to the factory image but cannot restore your personal settings.

Removal and Replacement

Preliminaries

This chapter provides essential information for proper and safe removal and replacement service.

5.1 Tools Required

You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:

Magnetic screwdriver

Phillips P0 screwdriver

Torx T8 screwdriver

3/16-inch Hex socket wrench

Flat-bladed driver

Tool kit—includes connector removal tool, loopback plugs, and case utility tool

Maintenance and Service Guide 5–1

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries

5.2 Service Considerations

The following sections include some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures.

As you remove each subassembly from the notebook, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.

Plastic Parts

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

Ä CAUTION: When servicing the notebook, ensure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process.

Improper cable placement can damage the notebook.

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. Ensure 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.

5–2 Maintenance and Service Guide

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries

5.3 Preventing Damage to

Removable Drives

Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the notebook, damage to a removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following precautions:

■ Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the notebook. If you are unsure whether the notebook is off or in hibernation, turn the notebook on, and then shut it down through the operating system.

Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical drive tray is closed.

Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.

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: Handle With Care.”

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries

5.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage

Many 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, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.

Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs.

An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge might not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or the device might function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

5.5 Packaging and Transporting

Precautions

Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and transporting equipment:

To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes.

Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.

■ Keep electrostatic-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 sensitive component or assembly.

Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.

■ Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Ensure 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.

Maintenance and Service Guide 5–5

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries

5.6 Workstation Precautions

Use the following grounding precautions at workstations:

■ Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material

(refer to Table 4-2, “Static-Shielding Materials”

).

■ 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 electrostatic-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.

5–6 Maintenance and Service Guide

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries

5.7 Grounding Equipment and

Methods

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.

Other grounding equipment recommended for use in preventing electrostatic damage includes:

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
