Important · If you are installing a new hard drive, create a Hibernate partition on the drive before loading any software--see the steps below. Creating a Hibernate Partition ­ OmniBook 4100

1. If you do not have an OmniBook Recovery CD and internal CD-ROM (or DVD) module for the computer you are repairing, create a Support Utility floppy disk now. After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following:

On an OmniBook 4100 with a Spring-98 factory software installation, click Start, Programs, OmniBook, Create Support Utility Disk. On any computer that has a CD-ROM drive, run makesupp from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook 4100 Recovery CD.
2. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive--or insert the Support Utility disk in the floppy drive. 3. Reboot the computer. If you are using the Recovery CD, press ESC during reboot to cancel the OmniBook screen, ESC to display the boot-device menu, then select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device. 4. When prompted, select "Create Hibernate Partition." We recommend that you create a partition the same as the default option.
Creating a Hibernate Partition--OmniBook 4150 Series

1. Plug in the ac adapter. 2. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. 3. Shut down and restart the computer--when you see the HP logo, press ESC two times. 4. Select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device. 5. When the Recovery CD dialog box appears, follow the displayed instructions. Accept the recommended partition size. If you install the factory software, the recovery process can take up to 10 minutes. If you want to create the Hibernate partition without installing the factory software, click Advanced and select the option to not install the operating system. If you intend to install Windows NT, you should choose the FAT16 option or the Hibernate-only option. Note: If, instead, you see an MS-DOS menu of options, select "Recover..." to create the Hibernate partition and install the factory software, which can take up to 60 minutes. Or select "Create Hibernate Partition" to not install the software. Accept the recommended partition size. 6.

To identify the type of LCD module, see the marking printed on the LCD flex cable where it plugs into the base--it may be on the top or bottom of the cable. For an OmniBook 4150B with an LG or IBM76 LCD module, if the marking on the cable is not certain, see the switch settings on the VGA PCA to identify the module. For an OmniBook 4150 with an IBM LCD module, the IBM74 has a shield with a solid back, and the IBM74E has a shield with a mylar-covered opening across the back. Models called 4150 in this manual have no marking in the serial number, whereas models called 4150B have 4150 B after the serial number.

Required Equipment

· Small Phillips screwdriver. · Pointed knife or probe.
Removal Procedure

1. Unplug the ac adapter, if present, and remove the battery. 2. Remove the display assembly and strip cover from the unit (page 2-11). 3. On the display bezel, remove the upper and lower screw covers (using a pointed knife or probe), then remove the six screws. 4. At the bottom of the display, lift up the inner edge of the bezel near both hinges until it unsnaps-- be careful to keep the end caps. Then at one side of the display, use your fingers to gently pull the display bezel outward, toward the edge of the case, until the snaps release. When one side is free, repeat along the opposite side--until only the top edge is attached. 5. Now lift the bottom edge about 5 cm and press inward along the top edge until the snaps release and the bezel lifts off. 6. Remove the two screws holding the LCD brackets and hinges near the bottom corners of the display case. Remove the combined hinges and strip cover. 7. On the plastic cable holder, unsnap the cover. 8. If present, unplug the flex cable that wraps around the inverter PCA to the left of the cable holder. 9. Unplug the three cables from the inverter PCA--raise the PCA out of the case, if necessary. Remove the PCA. 10. Slide the LCD module and brackets toward the bottom of the case. When the slots in the brackets clear the tabs in the case, lift out the LCD module--the LED strip cable is still in the display case. 11. If the LED strip cable is held by the LCD bracket, place the LCD module next to the display case and LED strip. 12. Remove the four screws holding the brackets to the LCD module. 13. Separate the LCD module and the shield: · You may have to remove one or more pieces of tape. · If the flex cable is still attached to the LCD module, unplug the cable.

Reassembly Notes

Caution
· Be sure to replace the LCD module or other display components with compatible parts. Components may be damaged if compatible parts are not used. See the table on page 2-13. · At the lower-right corner of the LCD, reinstall protective tape if it was present on the original LCD. · For an OmniBook 4150B, if you install a different type of LCD module, you must set the switches on the VGA PCA according to the type of LCD module. See the table on page 2-13. · Install new screws for all screws you remove that hold the display hinges. Otherwise, the hinges could loosen over time.

· For an LED strip cable that is routed around the bottom-right corner of the LCD, make sure it is routed through the corner of the LCD bracket. · Install the inverter PCA under the main LCD flex cable. · The extra length of LCD wires connecting to the inverter PCA is folded back along the PCA. · Snap in the end caps after the display is assembled.

Caution
At the lower-right corner of the LCD module, be careful the wires are not pinched where they pass next to the LCD bracket. Otherwise, they could be damaged.

Caution
For a 13-inch LCD, make sure the spacers and tape are installed when you assemble the LCD module and LCD shield. Otherwise, LCD quality may be significantly degraded, including noise or discoloration when the display is moved. (Service notes 4100-04, 4100-05.)
Shield LCD Make sure two rubber spacers are present in the connector recess. If necessary, transfer them from the old LCD or install new spacers. Note: If one long spacer is present, replace it with two short ones.

Install tape here to hold the cable to the shield.
