Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
● Flat-bladed screw driver
● Magnetic screw driver
● Phillips P0 screw driver
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 tablet, place the subassembly (and all accompanying
screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic parts
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care
when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the
maintenance instructions.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. 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 in such a way that they cannot be
caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables
tear easily.
Tools required 21
Grounding guidelines
Electrostatic discharge damage
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure
determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection,
but in many cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal
cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life
expectancy.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the tablet when you are removing or installing 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 in this
section.
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.
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by
different activities.
Relative humidity
Workstation guidelines
Grounding guidelines 23
Equipment guidelines
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.
● When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a
minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap
snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips
to connect a wrist strap.
● When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be
used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive
floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance
between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be worn in contact with the
skin.
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:
● Antistatic tape
● Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors
● Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids
● Nonconductive foam
● Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance
● Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground
● Field service kits
● Static awareness labels
● Material-handling packages
● Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes
● Metal tote boxes
● Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials
The following table lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.
NOTE: This chapter provides removal and replacement procedures for Authorized Service Provider only
components. Components described in this chapter should only be accessed by an authorized service
provider. Accessing these components can damage the computer or void the warranty.
There are as many as 52 screws that must be removed, replaced, and/or loosened when servicing the
computer. Make special note of each screw size and location during removal and replacement.
NOTE: HP continually improves and changes product parts. For complete and current information on
supported parts for your computer, go to http://partsurfer.hp.com, select your country or region, and then
follow the on-screen instructions.

6 Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and HP PC
Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)
Setup Utility, or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), controls communication between all the input and output
devices on the system (such as disk drives, display, keyboard, mouse, and printer). Setup Utility (BIOS)
includes settings for the types of devices installed, the startup sequence of the computer, and the amount of
system and extended memory.
NOTE: Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility (BIOS). Errors can prevent the computer
from operating properly.
1. From the Start screen, type hp support assistant, and then select the HP Support Assistant
app.
2. Click Updates and tune-ups, and then click Check for HP updates now.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the most recent BIOS update and compare it to the BIOS version currently installed on
your computer. If the update is more recent than your BIOS, make a note of the date, name, or
other identifier. You may need this information to locate the update later, after it has been
downloaded to your hard drive.
b. Follow the on-screen instructions to download your selection to the hard drive.
If the update is more recent than your BIOS, make a note of the path to the location on your hard
drive where the BIOS update is downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready
to install the update.
NOTE: If you connect your computer to a network, consult the network administrator before installing
any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are revealed on the screen after the download
is complete. If no instructions are revealed, follow these steps:
1. From the Start screen, type file, and then select File Explorer.
2. Click your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your hard drive that contains the
update.
4. Double-click the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe). The BIOS
installation begins.
5. Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the downloaded file
from your hard drive.
NOTE: To download the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool to a USB drive, see Downloading
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) to a USB device on page 52.
b. Hard drive
c. BIOS

8 Backing up, restoring, and recovering
2. Select Recovery Media Creation, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 57.
IMPORTANT: HP Recovery Manager does not automatically provide backups of your personal data. Before
beginning recovery, back up any personal data you wish to retain.
NOTE: If the computer does not automatically restart in HP Recovery Manager, change the computer
boot order. See Changing the computer boot order on page 58.
IMPORTANT: After you remove the HP Recovery partition, you can no longer use the Windows Refresh
option or the Windows option to remove everything and reinstall Windows. In addition, you will not be able to
perform System Recovery or Minimized Image Recovery from the HP Recovery partition. So before you
remove the Recovery partition, create HP Recovery media; see Creating HP Recovery media on page 55.
2. Select Remove Recovery Partition, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
