HP Omnibook 500 Removal and Replacement 2-29
Replacing the Bottom Case
Important
Due to contractual restrictions imposed by Microsoft, an HP authorized service provider
must follow special procedures when replacing the bottom case. These restrictions affect
the distribution, handling, and tracking of new, replacement, and replaced Microsoft
Certificate of Authenticity labels attached to the bottom case of the computer. Contact the
HP Call Center in your region for information or see service note 500-03.
Important
If the notebook is an option code ARE (for Malaysia), the bottom case can be replaced only
by the regional repair center in Taiwan. This requires sending the entire unit to the repair
center. Contact the HP Call Center in your region for shipping information.
