10 totalWhat safety precautions should I follow when replacing the battery in my HP EliteBook?
To avoid personal injury and damage to your computer when replacing a battery, do not puncture, twist, or crack it; handle with care avoiding metal tools near connectors due to risk of shorting. After disassembly preparation steps (off power, disconnect devices), carefully lift tape off battery cable connector, disconnect this from system board, remove speaker cable along battery's bottom edge, and unscrew retaining screws holding the battery before safely removing it from your device. Insert replacement using same care reversely detailed here (Pages 32-41).
How do I access the WWAN module for replacement?
After disassembly preparations and removing bottom cover and battery cable from system board as described, disconnect WWAN antenna cables, remove securing M2.0 x 2.0 screw to free up this module tilting it out slightly as you pull out. Protective sleeves must be installed on unconnected antenna connectors before removal/installation completion (Pages 39-42).
What is the best way to prevent static electricity damage during computer repairs?
To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage when repairing your device—wear an appropriate wrist strap; keep work surfaces covered with proper static-dissipative materials and use grounding circuits properly connected. Ensure you handle ESD-sensitive components only at designated clean benches free from non-conductive materials (Page 29).
What are the specific tools required for safely disassembling my HP EliteBook?
The essential tools needed include a magnetic Phillips P1 screwdriver, tweezers, and non-conductive pry tool with sharp edges avoided near plastic components due to risk of damage if too much force applied during removal or assembly (Page 27).
Can I perform customer self-repair on my HP EliteBook?
The Customer Self-Repair program is only available in some locations, and unauthorized replacement can void your warranty. Always refer to product documentation (page 32) or check the warranty for specific details before proceeding with repair actions (Pages 31-35).
How do I replace my solid-state drive in my HP EliteBook?
Following preparatory steps for disassembly, use the tab to lift off SSD cover held by clips on system board. Remove the securing M2.0 x 2.5 screw and gently pull the SSD from its socket at an angle. After removal of the solid-state drive component, replace the cover as outlined in instructions (Pages 39-41).

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 27
| | |---|
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 29. 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.

11 Statement of memory volatility
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.

Questions and answers
Use this section to answer your questions about 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.
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then quickly press esc. b. Select Main, and then select Apply Factory Defaults and Exit. c. Follow the on-screen instructions. d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
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.
This message relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains computer configuration data.

###### 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.
If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention. Those select computer models ship with HP Sure Start configured and enabled. HP Sure Start is configured and already enabled so that most users can use the HP Sure Start default configuration. Advanced users can customize the default configuration.
