Preparation

HP sets out its preliminary safety rules on printed page 32: the tools the job needs, the instruction to keep every removed subassembly and its screws clear of the work area, the warning that excessive force can damage plastic parts, and the requirement that cables sit in their proper routing during reassembly. The preparation steps printed on page 37 ask you to shut the computer down, unplug the power cord, and disconnect every external device. HP also notes on printed page 37 that a Customer Self-Repair job can involve as many as 12 screws, so record the size and location of each one as you go.

Replacement

  1. Prepare the computer for disassembly: shut it down, unplug the power cord, and disconnect external devices (printed pages 37, 37, 37, and 37).
  2. Set the computer on its back on a level work surface so the bottom faces up (printed page 37).
  3. Back out the five captive screws (1) along with the three inset captive screws (2) that hold the bottom cover in place (printed page 38).
  4. Work the pry tool under the display at the upper left corner (1) and lift the bottom cover clear of the computer (2) (printed page 38).
  5. Install the bottom cover by reversing the removal steps (printed page 38).
