Use this information to properly prepare to disassemble and reassemble the computer.
Tools required
You need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
● Nonconductive, nonmarking pry tool
● Magnetic Phillips P1 screwdriver
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
Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 so that they cannot be caught or snagged as you remove or replace parts. Handle flex cables with
extreme care; these cables tear easily.
Drive handling
Note the following guidelines when handling drives.
Tools required 21
IMPORTANT: Drives are fragile components. Handle them 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 an optical drive, be sure that a disc is not in the drive, and be sure that the optical drive tray
is closed.
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least 2.54 cm (1 inch) of shock-proof foam.
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
After removing a hard drive or an optical 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.”
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the device when you remove or install 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
Personal grounding methods and equipment on page 23.
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.

Be sure to follow all prerequisites before downloading and installing a BIOS update.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the computer or an unsuccessful installation, download and
install a BIOS update only when the computer is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do
not download or install a BIOS 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, follow these
instructions:
● Do not disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
● Do not shut down the computer or initiate Sleep.
● Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.
NOTE: If your computer is connected to a network, consult the network administrator before installing any
software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
– or –
Select the question mark icon in the taskbar.
2. Select Updates, and then select Check for updates and messages.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the most recent BIOS update and compare it to the BIOS version currently installed on your
computer. If the update is more recent than your BIOS version, make a note of the date, name, or
other identifier. You might need this information to locate the update later, after it has been
downloaded to your hard drive.
b. Follow the on-screen instructions to download your selection to the hard drive.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update is downloaded.
You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.
2. Select your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder that contains the update.
4. Double-click the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
5. Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.
You can use Windows tools or HP software to back up your information, create a restore point, reset your
computer, create recovery media, or restore your computer to its factory state. Performing these standard
procedures can return your computer to a working state faster.
IMPORTANT: If you will be performing recovery procedures on a tablet, the tablet battery must be at least
70% charged before you start the recovery process.
IMPORTANT: For a tablet with a detachable keyboard, connect the tablet to the keyboard base before
beginning any recovery process.
IMPORTANT: Windows is the only option that allows you to back up your personal information. Schedule
regular backups to avoid information loss.
NOTE: If computer storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft® System Restore is disabled by default.
Using the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create recovery media (select
products only)
You can use the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create HP Recovery media on a bootable USB flash drive.
For details:
▲ Go to http://www.hp.com/support, search for HP Cloud Recovery, and then select the result that
matches the type of computer that you have.
NOTE: If you cannot create recovery media yourself, contact support to obtain recovery discs. Go to
http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you follow the Restoring and recovery methods on page 57 to restore
your computer before you obtain and use the HP recovery discs. Using a recent backup can return your
machine to a working state sooner than using the HP recovery discs. After the system is restored, reinstalling
all the operating system software released since your initial purchase can be a lengthy process.
NOTE: The options Remove everything and then Fully clean the drive can take several hours to
complete and leave no information on your computer. It is the safest way to reset your computer before
you recycle it.
3. Recover using HP Recovery media. For more information, see Recovering using HP Recovery media
on page 57.
For more information about the first two methods, see the Get Help app:
Select the Start button, select the Get Help app, and then enter the task you want to perform.
NOTE: You must be connected to the internet to access the Get Help app.
NOTE: If you cannot create recovery media yourself, contact support to obtain recovery discs. Go to
http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: HP recommends that you follow the Restoring and recovery methods on page 57 to restore your
computer before you obtain and use the HP recovery discs. Using a recent backup can return your machine to
