(HP Authorized Service Providers Only)

Note

A replacement IC contains enough basic programming to boot the OmniBook. However, after replacing an IC, you must reprogram it. Hewlett-Packard prefers that you program the IC with the latest BIOS—follow the directions carefully. You can download it from the OmniBook website (see page vi).

Required Equipment

∙Small flat-blade screwdriver.

∙IC insertion/removal tool.

Removal Procedure

1.Unplug the ac adapter, if present, and remove the battery.

2.On the bottom of the unit, insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the slot at the edge of the BIOS cover and pry it off.

3.Use an IC insertion/removal tool to remove the BIOS IC from its socket.

∙For the OmniBook 2100/3100, a single BIOS IC contains both the system and keyboard BIOS.

∙For the OmniBook 3000, two separate BIOS ICs contain the system BIOS and keyboard BIOS.
