Service considerations

Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the disassembly and
assembly of the computer.

Tools and software requirements

To service the computer, you need the following:
● Torx T-15 screwdriver (HP screwdriver with bits, PN 161946-001)
Flat-bladed screwdriver (may sometimes be used in place of the Torx screwdriver)
●
● Phillips #2 screwdriver
Diagnostics software
●
● HP tamper-resistant T-15 wrench (Smart Cover FailSafe Key, PN 166527-001) or HP tamper-resistant
bits (Smart Cover FailSafe Key, PN 166527-002)

Screws

The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or metric threads and may
be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. HP
strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed,
then returned to their proper locations.
CAUTION: As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be placed away from the work area
to prevent damage.
