2-10 Removal and Replacement HP Omnibook XT6050, XT/VT6200
Removing Mini-PCI Card #1
(User-Replaceable)
Certain notebooks include a mini-PCI card under the mini-PCI cover on the bottom of the unit. (In
addition, certain models may have a second mini-PCI card located under the motherboard—see the
table on page 2-31.)
Caution
Handle the mini-PCI card only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage the
card through electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
•
Small Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1.
Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery and any secondary battery module.
2.
Loosen the screw in the mini-PCI cover (the cover retains the screw), and remove the cover.
Caution
Be careful when connecting and disconnecting cables from the mini-PCI card. Damaged cables or
connectors can degrade performance.
3.
Detach all cables from the card.
4.
Release the latches at the sides of the card, so that its free edge pops up, and carefully pull the card
out of its connector.
