3.0 Product Disassembly Process
3.1 List the basic steps that should typically be followed to remove components and materials requiring selective treatment:
1. To remove the access panel, loosen the captive thumbscrew (1) that secures the access panel to the computer
chassis, slide the access panel back (2) about 1.3 cm (1/2 inch), and then lift it off the unit. (see Figure 1).
2. To remove the front bezel, press outward on the two latches on the right side of the bezel and the single latch on the
left side of the bezel (1) to release the bottom of the bezel, then swing the bottom of the bezel away from the chassis
(2) to release the top of the bezel. (see Figure 2).
3. Remove or cut all expansion cards, cables, and any other devices from the system board.
4. To remove the battery:
Locate the battery and battery holder on the system board. Depending on the type of battery holder on the system
board, complete the following instructions to remove the battery.
TYPE 1 BATTERY HOLDER (see Figure 3):
Lift the battery out of the holder.
TYPE 2 BATTERY HOLDER (see Figure 4):
To release the battery from its holder, squeeze the metal clamp that extends above one edge of the battery. When the
battery pops up, lift it out.
TYPE 3 BATTERY HOLDER (see Figure 5):
Pull back on the clip that holds the battery in place, and then remove the battery.
5. To remove the system board (see Figure 6):
a. Remove all expansion boards.
b. Disconnect all cables connected to the system board.
c. Remove the heatsink from the system board by loosening the four captive screws that secure the heatsink to the
system board, and then lifting the heatsink from the system board.
b. Remove the seven screws that secure the system board to the chassis.
c. Slide the system board toward the front of the computer, and then lift the board up to remove it.
6. To remove the power supply.
a. Remove the four screws that secure the power supply to the chassis (see Figure 7).
b. Press the tab in front of the power supply that holds it in place (1).
c. Slide the power supply toward the front of the computer (2), rotate toward the fan so the power supply clears the lip
on the top of the chassis (3), and then lift the power supply out of the chassis (4) (see Figure 8).
HP uses five different power supply vendors. See the instructions below to disassemble and remove required power
supply components:
POWER SUPPLY 1:
a. Using dikes, cut the two plastic clamps that secure the wires to the power supply cover (see Figure 9).
b. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the six screws that secure the cover to the power supply chassis - two screws
on top, two screws on the bottom, two screws on the left side (see Figures 10 & 11).
NOTE: You do not need to remove the screws from the fan guard or the power connector.
