Common Questions
9 totalHow do I turn on or off the touchpad?
To turn the touchpad on or off, press the 'Touchpad On/Off' action key (an icon of a hand) located in the function keys row. If necessary, combine this with pressing the fn key to activate the correct function.
What should I do if my computer fan is making loud noises?
It's normal for your computer's fan to cycle on and off during routine operation, including making occasional loud noises as it powers up or adjusts speed. If the noise persists excessively, ensure no hard surfaces block air vents and that dirt hasn't accumulated inside the system which might be obstructing ventilation.
What does an amber-blinking power adapter light indicate on my computer?
An amber-light blinking LED for the AC adapter indicates that there is a low battery level and the AC adapter is not connected to charge it. Connect the adapter to both resolve charging issues and prevent unexpected shutdowns.
How do I clean my display assembly according to HP's guidelines?
To safely remove dirt from your computer's display, first unplug it. Use a cloth moistened with water but not dripping wet; avoid abrasive materials. Clean the display using gentle motions from top to bottom, then dry completely before use.
What are the different USB ports and their functions?
There are several USB SuperSpeed (USB Type-A) ports which allow data transfer and charge small devices like smartphones even when off; one is HP Sleep & Charge capable. Additionally, there's a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort output capability.
Where can I find my product serial number for service purposes?
The service label will have your product’s serial number, typically located underneath the computer, inside battery bay doors, or on various labels provided. Refer to Table 2-11 and subsequent tables for detailed placement descriptions.

4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements
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:
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.
Cables and connectors Handle cables with extreme care to avoid damage. 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 25
| | |---|
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.”
Electrostatic discharge information
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device might function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
| | |---|
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 27. 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.
