4 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 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.

Tools required 25

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.

After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.

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.”

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 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, 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 27

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

● Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials

10 Backing up, restoring, and recovering in

Windows 7

Your computer includes tools provided by the operating system and HP to help you safeguard your information and retrieve it if ever needed.

Creating backups

1.

Use HP Recovery Manager to create recovery media immediately after you set up the working computer.

2.

As you add hardware and software programs, create system restore points.

3.

As you add photos, video, music, and other personal files, create a backup of your system and personal information.

Creating recovery media to recover the original system

After you successfully set up the computer, you should create recovery discs or a recovery flash drive using

HP Recovery Manager. You will need these recovery discs or recovery flash drive to perform a system recovery should the hard drive become corrupted. A system recovery reinstalls the original operating system, and then configures the settings for the default programs.

What you need to know

● Only one set of 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 flash drive or the number of blank DVD discs that will be required.

Use DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL discs or a flash drive. Do not use rewriteable discs such as CD

±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software.

● If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, you can use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from the HP website. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer, not 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.

● Store the recovery media in a safe location, separate from the computer.

● If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery media. The next time you open HP Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the process.

Creating backups 79

Creating the recovery media

1.

Select Start and type recovery in the search field. Select HP Recovery Manager from the list. Allow the action to continue, if prompted.

2.

Click Recovery Media Creation.

3.

Follow the on-screen instructions to continue.

To recover, see Recovering the original system using HP Recovery Manager on page 82

.

Creating system restore points

A system restore point is a snapshot of certain hard drive contents saved by Windows System Restore at a specific time. A restore point contains information such as registry settings that Windows uses. Restoring to a previous restore point allows you to reverse changes that have been made to the system since the restore point was created.

Restoring to an earlier system restore point does not affect data files saved or emails created since the last restore point, but it does affect software you may have installed.

For example, if you download a photo from a digital camera and then restore the computer to the state it was on the previous day, the photo remains on the computer.

However, if you install photo viewing software and then restore your computer to the state it was on the previous day, the software will be uninstalled, and you won't be able to use it.

What you need to know

● If you restore to a restore point and then change your mind, you can undo the restoration.

● You should create system restore points:

◦ Before you add or change software or hardware

◦ Periodically, whenever the computer is running normally

● System Restore also saves shadow copies of files that have been changed since the last restore point was created. For more information about using shadow copies to restore, see Help and Support.

Creating a system restore point

1.

Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.

2.

In the left pane, click System Protection.

3.

Click the System Protection tab.

To restore, see

Restoring to a previous system restore point on page 82

.

Backing up system and personal information

Your computer stores information that is important to you, such as files, emails, and photos, and you will want to keep that information even if you download a virus or the system stops working properly. How completely you are able to recover your files depends on how recent your backup is. As you add new software and data files, you should create backups on a regular basis.

80 Chapter 10 Backing up, restoring, and recovering in Windows 7

Tips for a successful backup

● Number backup discs before inserting them into the optical drive.

● Store personal files in the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries, and back up these folders periodically.

● Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to re-enter your preferences.

To create a screen shot:

1.

Display the screen you want to save.

2.

Copy the screen image:

To copy only the active window, press alt + prt sc .

To copy the entire screen, press prt sc .

3.

Open a word-processing document or graphics editing program, and then select Edit > Paste. The screen image is added to the document.

4.

Save and print the document.

What you need to know

● You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a flash drive, a network drive, or discs.

● Connect the computer to AC power during backups.

● Allow enough time for the backup. Depending on files sizes, it may take more than an hour.

● Verify the amount of free space on your backup storage device before you back up.

● You should back up:

◦ Before adding or changing software or hardware.

◦ Before the computer is repaired or restored.

◦ On a regular schedule to be sure you have recent copies of personal information.

◦ After you add many files—for example, if you saved videos from a birthday party.

◦ Before using antivirus software to remove a malicious program.

◦ After adding information that is hard to replace, such as pictures, videos, music, project files, or data records.

Creating a backup using Windows Backup and Restore

Windows allows you to back up files using Windows Backup and Restore. You can select the level you want to back up, from individual folders to drives. The backups are compressed to save space. To back up:

1.

Creating recovery media and backups 91

You can use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information,

see Using Windows tools on page 92

.

● If your computer does list the Recovery partition and the Windows partition, you can use HP Recovery

Manager 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 software programs that were 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 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 media 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 highquality 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. 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. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from HP. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/ support , select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.

◦ 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.

15 Statement of Volatility

The purpose of this document is to provide general information regarding non-volatile memory in industrystandards based HP Business Notebook PC systems and provide general instructions for restoring nonvolatile memory that can contain personal data after the system has been powered off and the hard drive has been removed.

HP Business Notebook PC products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR memory. The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration.

Intel-based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped from HP assuming that no subsequent modifications have been made to the system and assuming that no applications, features, or functionality have been added to or installed on the system.

Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP Business Notebook PC system, personal data can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and will also remain in nonvolatile memory. The steps below will remove personal data from the notebook PC, including the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards. Some of these steps are disclosed in the Maintenance & Service Guides available for HP PC products available on the product support pages at www.hp.com

.

b.

Select the File menu, then Restore Defaults.

c.

Select the System Configuration menu, then Restore Security Defaults.

d.

If an asset or ownership tag is set, select the Security menu and scroll down to the Utilities menu.

Select System IDs, and then select the tag that has been set. Press the spacebar once to clear the tag, then press Enter to return to the prior menu.

e.

If a DriveLock password is set, select the Security menu, scroll down to DriveLock, then select

DriveLock password. Select the desired hard drive. Click Disable protection, enter the existing master DriveLock password, then press Enter to confirm and return to the prior menu. Repeat this procedure if more than one hard drive has a DriveLock password.

f.

If an Automatic DriveLock password is set, select the Security menu, scroll down to Automatic

DriveLock, then select the desired hard drive and disable protection. Repeat this procedure if more than one hard drive has an Automatic DriveLock password.

g.

Select the File menu, then Reset BIOS Security to factory default. Click yes at the warning message.

h.

Select the File menu, then Save Changes and Exit.

i.

Reboot the system. If the system has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and/or fingerprint sensor, one or two prompts will appear. One to clear the TPM and the other to Reset Fingerprint Sensor; press F1 to accept or F2 to reject.

If the HP notebook model number ends in a ‘p’ or ‘w’ and includes Intel® Centrino with VProTM, reboot the PC and enter BIOS Setup by pressing F10 when prompted. Select System Configuration,

103

then AMT Options. Then select Unconfigure AMT on next boot. Select Save then Yes. Select the

File menu, and then select Save Changes and Exit. Reboot the system and confirm that you want to unconfigure AMT.

j.

If the optional Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (AT) was activated, contact the provider to deactivate it.

k.

If the optional Absolute® Software Computrace® management and tracking service was activated on the notebook PC, contact the provider to deactivate it.

l.

Remove all power and system batteries for at least 24 hours.

2.

Remove and retain the storage drive or clear the contents of the drive.

a.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Questions and answers

1.

How can the BIOS settings be restored (returned to factory settings)?

a.

Turn on or restart the computer and press F10 when prompted near the bottom of the display.

b.

Select File, then select Restore defaults.

c.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

d.

Select File, save changes and exit, then press Enter .

2.

What kind of configuration data is stored on the DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory module? How would this data be written?

The DIMM SPD memory contains information about the memory module such as size, serial number, data width, speed/timing, voltage and thermal information. This information is written by the module manufacturer and stored on an EEPROM. This EEPROM cannot be written to when the memory module is installed in a PC. Third party tools do exist that can write to the EEPROM when the memory module is not installed in a PC. There are various third party tools available to read SPD memory.

3.

Does the “Firmware Hub for System BIOS” contain the BIOS program? Is this chip writable, and if so how?

The Firmware Hub does contain the BIOS program and is writable. A utility is required to perform the write function.

4.

In some PC systems, the Firmware Hub for System BIOS is a flash memory chip so that updates can be written by the customer. Is this true for these BIOS chips?

Yes, they are flash memory chips.

5.

What is meant by “Restore the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based system boards”?

This relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains PC configuration data.

6.

Does resetting the CMOS configuration memory return the PC back to factory defaults?

The process of resetting the CMOS will return certain system settings to factory default but will not reset many of the system data and configuration defaults to their factory settings. To return these system data and configuration defaults to factory settings, refer to question and answer 1 and follow the instructions for returning the BIOS settings to factory defaults.
