Removing a BIOS IC
(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.
