Preparation
HP prints its tools list and its handling and electrostatic-discharge cautions on printed page 30. Its preparation for disassembly is on printed page 39: power the unit down through the operating system, unplug the power cord and detach every external device before opening it. Work on a grounded, static-safe surface, keep screws grouped by the position they came from, and handle boards and modules by their edges.
