1.5 Design Overview  
This section presents a design overview of key parts and features  
of the computer. Refer to Chapter 4, “Illustrated Parts Catalog,”  
to identify replacement parts, and Chapter 6, “Removal and  
Replacement Procedures,” for disassembly steps.  
The system board provides the following device connections:

ÄCAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6--cm  
(3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the computer.  
The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is  
controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to be turned  
on automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These  
conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system  
power consumption, power management/battery conservation  
configurations, battery fast charging, and software applications.  
Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on  
the left side of the computer.

Troubleshooting  
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP should repair  
this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed  
to allow only subassembly-/module-level repair. Because of the  
complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt  
to make repairs at the component level or modifications to any printed  
wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any  
indication of component replacement or printed wiring board  
modification may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

Software Update and  
Recovery  
3.1 Software Updates  
To stay current with the newest technology and maintain optimal  
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.”  
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.  
Ä
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  
and date.  
2. Access the updates through the HP Web site by visiting  
http://www.hp.com or by obtaining 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.  
Maintenance and Service Guide  
3–1  
           
Software Update and Recovery  
Accessing Computer Information  
Before you access the updates for your computer, collect the  
following information:  
The product category is Notebook.  
The product family name and series number are printed on  
the display bezel.  
Model information is provided on the serial number label on  
the bottom of the computer.  
To determine whether available ROM updates contain later ROM  
versions than those currently installed on the computer, you need  
to know the version of the system ROM currently installed.  
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.  
ROM date information is displayed.  
3. To exit Computer Setup, use the arrow keys to select File >  
Ignore changes and exit. Then follow the instructions on the  
screen.

Software Update and Recovery  
Obtaining the Support Software CD  
The Support Software CD provides HP software updates and  
installation instructions. The CD includes device drivers, ROM  
updates, and utilities.  
To purchase the current Support Software CD or a subscription  
that provides both the current version and future versions of  
the CD, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com.  
Software Updates and the HP Web Site  
Most software on the HP Web site is packaged in compressed  
files called SoftPaqs. Some ROM updates may be packaged in  
compressed files called ROMPaqs.  
Most download packages contain a file named Readme.txt. A  
Readme.txt file contains information regarding installing and  
troubleshooting the file. The Readme.txt files included with  
ROMPaqs are provided in English only.  
Downloading a ROM Update  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer or an unsuccessful  
Ä
installation, download and install a ROM update only when the computer  
is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do not  
download or install a ROM update while the computer is running on  
battery power, docked in an optional docking device, or connected to an  
optional power source. During the download and installation:  
Do not disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the  
power cord from the AC outlet.  
Do not shut down the computer or initiate standby or hibernation.  
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable,  
or cord.

of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this  
information to locate the update later, after it has been  
downloaded to your hard drive.  
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to download your  
selection to the hard drive.  
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard  
drive to which the ROM package will be downloaded.

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.

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.  
Using 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.

Software Update and Recovery  
Using System Restore Points  
System Restore is a Windows 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.

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  
5.0-mm socket for system board locks  
Flat-bladed screwdriver  
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 computer, 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  
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are  
Ä
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. 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.

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 computer, damage to a  
removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following  
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 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.”  
Maintenance and Service Guide  
5–3  
         
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 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.

Maintenance and Service Guide  
   
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries  
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.

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
