Note

A replacement BIOS IC contains only enough basic programming to boot the OmniBook. After

installing the 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 Phillips 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, remove the two screws from the RAM/BIOS cover and remove the

cover.

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