2-6 Removal and Replacement HP Omnibook 6000/6100
Removing an SDRAM Module
(User-Replaceable)
The computer has no SDRAM on its motherboard, but has two slots for that hold two SDRAM
modules. One slot contains a SDRAM module installed at the factory.
Caution
Handle the SDRAM module only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage
the board by electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
•
Small Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1. Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery. Remove the secondary battery if one is
installed.
2. Turn the unit bottom-side up, loosen the one or two screws holding the SDRAM cover (the cover
may retain the screws), and remove the cover.
3. Release the two latches at the sides of the SDRAM module, so the free edge of the board pops up.
4. Pull the board out of the connector.

Reassembly Notes
•
Gently press the SDRAM module into the connector at about a 30° angle, until it is fully inserted.
Then press down on both sides until the latches snap closed.
