Common Questions
28 totalHow do I safely clean my HP EliteBook 840 G11 without damaging it?
Turn off the device and unplug the power cord before cleaning, then wipe exterior surfaces gently with a moist (not dripping wet) microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, aerosol sprays, solvents, and cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide or bleach. Make sure all surfaces have completely air-dried before turning the device back on. (Page 32)
What disinfectant solution is safe to use on the EliteBook 840 G11?
HP recommends using an alcohol solution consisting of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water, also known as rubbing alcohol, to disinfect high-touch external surfaces. Avoid chemicals such as bleach, hydrogen peroxide, acetone, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, methylene chloride, or petroleum-based materials like gasoline or paint thinner. Always moisten a microfiber cloth with the solution rather than spraying directly on the product. (Page 33)
What should I do if the computer stops responding and won't shut down normally?
If the computer has stopped responding and normal shutdown procedures are ineffective, press and hold the power button for at least 4 seconds to turn off the computer. Be aware that pressing and holding the power button results in the loss of unsaved information. (Page 20)
How can I tell what the battery light indicator means on my EliteBook 840 G11?
When AC power is connected, a white battery light means the charge is greater than 90%, amber means the charge is between 0 and 90%, and off means the battery is not charging. When AC power is disconnected, a blinking amber light means the battery has reached a low level, and rapid blinking amber indicates a critical battery level. (Page 15)
What memory configurations are supported by the EliteBook 840 G11?
The EliteBook 840 G11 supports two upgradeable memory module slots with up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 MHz RAM. Supported configurations include 8 GB (1×8 GB), 16 GB (1×16 GB or 2×8 GB), 32 GB (1×32 GB or 2×16 GB), and 64 GB (2×32 GB). (Page 9–10)
Which parts on the EliteBook 840 G11 can I replace myself without voiding the warranty?
End-user replaceable parts include the AC adapter, access panel (bottom cover), memory modules, solid-state drive, WLAN module, WWAN module, fan, and speakers. Accessing parts designated for authorized service providers only can damage the computer or void your warranty. (Page 12)

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. 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:

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:
#### Generating static electricity
Follow these static electricity guidelines:

NOTE: Multiple electric components can be packaged together in plastic tubes, trays, or polystyrene foam. As little as 700 V of static electricity can degrade a product.
#### Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity.
The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent static electricity damage to electronic components:
#### Personal grounding methods and equipment
Using certain equipment can prevent static electricity damage to electronic components.

Cleaning your computer
Cleaning your computer regularly removes dirt and debris so that your device continues to operate at its best. Use the following information to safely clean the external surfaces of your computer.
#### Enabling HP Easy Clean (select products only)
HP Easy Clean helps you to avoid accidental input while you clean the computer surfaces. This software disables devices such as the keyboard, touch screen, and touchpad for a preset amount of time so that you can clean all computer surfaces.
Removing dirt and debris from your computer Here are the recommended steps to clean dirt and debris from your computer. For computers with wood veneer, see Caring for wood veneer (select products only) on page 34.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock or damage to components, never clean a product while it is turned on or plugged in.
IMPORTANT: Keep liquids away from the product. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. If liquid makes its way inside your HP product, it can cause damage to the product. Do not spray liquids directly on the product. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide or bleach that might damage the finish.


See Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant on page 33 for recommended steps to clean the high-touch, external surfaces on your computer to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses.
#### Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed by disinfection, as a best practice for preventing the spread of viral respiratory illnesses and harmful bacteria.
After cleaning the external surfaces of your computer using the steps in Removing dirt and debris from your computer on page 32, Caring for wood veneer (select products only) on page 34, or both, you might also choose to clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. A disinfectant that is within HP’s cleaning guidelines is an alcohol solution consisting of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. This solution is also known as rubbing alcohol and is sold in most stores.
Follow these steps when disinfecting high-touch, external surfaces on your computer:
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock or damage to components, never clean a product while it is turned on or plugged in.


CAUTION: Do not use any of the following chemicals or any solutions that contain them, including spray-based surface cleaners: bleach, peroxides (including hydrogen peroxide), acetone, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, methylene chloride, or any petroleum-based materials, such as gasoline, paint thinner, benzene, or toluene.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the surface, avoid abrasive cloths, towels, and paper towels.
Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant 33
IMPORTANT: Keep liquids away from the product. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. If liquid makes its way inside your HP product, it can cause damage to the product. Do not spray liquids directly on the product. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide or bleach that might damage the finish.

#### Caring for wood veneer (select products only)
Your product might feature high-quality wood veneer. As with all natural wood products, proper care is important for best results over the life of the product. Because of the nature of natural wood, you might see unique variations in the grain pattern or subtle variations in color, which are normal.

Statement of memory volatility11
For general information regarding nonvolatile memory in HP business computers, and to restore nonvolatile memory that can contain personal data after the system has been turned off and the hard drive has been removed, use these instructions.
HP business computer products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR memory. The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration. Intel-based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped from HP, with the following assumptions:
Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP business computer system, personal data can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and also remains in nonvolatile memory. Use the following steps to remove personal data from the computer, including the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards.

NOTE: If your tablet has a keyboard base, connect to the keyboard base before beginning steps in this chapter.
Current BIOS steps
Use these instructions to restore nonvolatile memory.

IMPORTANT: The restore defaults feature does not securely erase any information on your hard drive. See question and answer 6 for steps to securely erase information. The restore defaults feature does not reset the Custom Secure Boot keys. See question and answer 7 for information about resetting the keys.
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is an industry-standard software interface between the platform firmware and an operating system (OS). It replaces the older BIOS architecture but supports much of the legacy BIOS functionality.
Like the legacy BIOS, the UEFI BIOS provides an interface to display the system information and configuration settings and to change the configuration of your computer before an OS is loaded. BIOS provides a secure runtime environment that supports a Graphic User Interface (GUI). In this environment, you can use either a pointing device (touch screen, touchpad, pointing stick, or USB mouse) or the keyboard to navigate and make menu and configuration selections. The UEFI BIOS also contains basic system diagnostics.
The UEFI BIOS provides functionality beyond that of the legacy BIOS. In addition, the UEFI BIOS works to initialize the computer’s hardware before loading and executing the OS; the runtime environment allows the loading and execution of software programs from storage devices to provide more functionality, such as advanced hardware diagnostics (with the ability to display more detailed system information) and advanced firmware management and recovery software.
HP has provided options in Computer Setup (BIOS) to allow you to run in legacy BIOS, if required by the operating system. Examples of this requirement would be if you upgrade or downgrade the OS.
The DIMM SPD memory contains information about the memory module, such as size, serial number, data width, speed and timing, voltage, and thermal information. This information is written by the module manufacturer and stored on an EEPROM. You cannot write to this EEPROM when the memory module is installed in a computer. Third-party tools do exist that can write to the EEPROM when the memory module is not installed in a computer. Various third-party tools are available to read SPD memory.

Questions and answers 91
This message relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains computer configuration data.
###### 6. How can the BIOS security be reset to factory defaults and erase the data?IMPORTANT: Resetting results in the loss of information.

These steps do not reset Custom Secure Boot Keys. See question and answer 7 for information about resetting the keys.
###### 7. How can the Custom Secure Boot Keys be reset?
Secure Boot is a feature to ensure that only authenticated code can start on a platform. If you enabled Secure Boot and created Custom Secure Boot Keys, disabling Secure Boot does not clear the keys. You must also select to clear the Custom Secure Boot Keys. Use the same Secure Boot access procedure that you used to create the Custom Secure Boot Keys, but select to clear or delete all Secure Boot Keys.
Using HP Sure Start (select products only)
Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that continuously monitors your computer's BIOS for attacks or corruption.
