Note
A replacement BIOS IC contains only enough basic programming to boot the OmniBook. After
installing the IC, you must reprogram it. Hewlett-Packard prefers that you program the IC with the
latest BIOS—follow the directions carefully. You can download it from the OmniBook website (see
page vi).
Required Equipment
• Small Phillips screwdriver.
• IC insertion/removal tool.
