4 Removal and replacement procedures 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 and P1 screw drivers Service considerations The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures.
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.
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.
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.
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.

10 Windows 7 - Backing up, restoring, and recovering 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.
Creating the recovery media 1. Select Start and type recovery in the search field. Select 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 108. 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.
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.
To restore, see Restoring specific files using Windows Backup and Restore on page 108. Restore and recovery Restoring to a previous system restore point Sometimes installing a software program causes your computer or Windows to behave unpredictably. Usually uninstalling the software fixes the problems. If uninstalling does not fix the problems, you can restore the computer to a previous system restore point (created at an earlier date and time).
● If the recovery media do not work, you can obtain recovery discs for your system from support through the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions. ● The Minimized Image Recovery option is recommended for advanced users only. All hardwarerelated drivers and software are re-installed, but other software applications are not. Do not interrupt the process until it is complete, otherwise the recovery will fail.
Changing the computer boot order To change the boot order for recovery discs: 1. Restart the computer. 2. Press esc while the computer is restarting, and then press f9 for boot options. 3. Select Internal CD/DVD ROM Drive from the boot options window. To change the boot order for a recovery flash drive: 1. Insert the flash drive into a USB port. 2. Restart the computer. 3. Press esc while the computer is restarting, and then press f9 for boot options. 4.
11 Ubuntu Linux – Backing up, restoring, and recovering Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. 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. Performing a system recovery The Deja Dup Restore Tool allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You can create an image restore DVD using an optional external DVD±RW optical drive.
To create the restore image: 1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings > Backup. 2. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to Backup location, and select the USB device from the drop-down list. NOTE: If the USB device is not listed in the drop-down list for Backup Location, select Local Folder, and then click the Choose Folder button.
3. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to Backup Location, and select Ubuntu One from the drop-down list. 4. Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Back Up Now. NOTE: The first time you backup your files to Ubuntu One, you will need to create an account to sign into Ubuntu One. Enter your email address and password into the account sign-in boxes and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the sign-in process.
