What is customer self repair?
HP's customer self-repair program offers you the fastest service under either warranty or contract. It enables

A convenient, easy-to-use program:

An HP support specialist will diagnose and assess whether a replacement part is required to address a
system problem. The specialist will also determine whether you can replace the part.
