Removal and replacement procedures  
Preliminary replacement requirements  
Tools required  
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:  
Flat-bladed screwdriver  
Phillips P0 screwdriver  
Phillips P1 screwdriver  
Torx T8 screwdriver  
Service considerations  
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must 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  
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.  
Ä
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.  
Ä
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.

Removal and replacement procedures  
Drive handling  
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the computer,  
Ä
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.  
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.”  
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, and 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  
Ä
these precautions:  
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.  
Use nonmagnetic tools.  
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.

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 they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place items on a grounded surface before them 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 workstation grounding 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.  
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 strips 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

Spare part number  
Fan/Heat sink  
618830-001  
To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 in) of clearance on the left side of the computer. The  
computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to  
turn 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 requirements. Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side  
of the computer.  
Before removing the fan and heat sink, follow these steps:  
1. 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.  
2. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.  
3. Disconnect the power from the computer by first unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet, and then

Backup and recovery  
Backup and recovery in Windows 7  
Overview  
To protect your information, use Windows Backup and Restore to back up individual files and folders, back up our  
entire hard drive (select models only), create system repair discs (select models only), or create system restore  
points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer.  
Windows Backup and Restore provides the following options:  
Creating a system repair disc (select models only)  
Backing up individual files and folders  
Creating a system image (select models only)  
Scheduling automatic backups (select models only)  
Creating system restore points  
Recovering individual files  
Restoring the computer to a previous state  
Recovering information using recovery tools  
For detailed instructions, perform a search for these topics in Help and Support.  
In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use.  
Backing up your information  
Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create system repair discs  
(select models only) and your initial backup immediately after software setup. 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. The  
system repair discs (select models only) are used to start up (boot) the computer and repair the operating system in  
case of system instability or failure. Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to restore your data and settings  
if a failure occurs.  
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.  
Note the following when backing up:  
Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly.  
Back up templates that are stored in their associated programs.  
Save customized settings that appear 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 reset your preferences.

Backup and recovery  
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+fn+prt sc.  
To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc.  
3. Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.  
The screen image is added to the document.  
4. Save the document.  
When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R, CD-RW,  
DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+/-RW. The discs you use will depend on the type of  
optical drive installed in your computer.  
DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support store more information than CDs, so using them for  
backup reduces the number of recovery discs required.  
When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive of the computer.  
To create a backup using Backup and Restore, follow these steps:  
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.  
The backup process may take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the computer.  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your backup, create a system image (select models only), or  
create a system repair disc (select models only).  
Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer. You may be  
prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or changing  
Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more information.

Backup and recovery  
Performing a recovery  
In case of system failure or instability, the computer provides the following tools to recover your files:  
Windows recovery tools: You can use Windows Backup and Restore to recover information you have  
previously backed up. You can also use Windows Startup Repair to fix problems that might prevent Windows  
from starting correctly.  
f11 recovery tools: You can use the f11 recovery tools to recover your original hard drive image. The image  
includes the Windows operating system and software programs installed at the factory.  
If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer and you cannot use the system repair discs you previously  
created (select models only), you must purchase a Windows 7 operating system DVD to reboot the computer and  
repair the operating system. For additional information, refer to the “Using a Windows 7 operating system DVD
