2-10 Removal and Replacement HP Omnibook 6000/6100
Removing Mini-PCI Card #1
(User-Replaceable)
Certain computers include a mini-PCI card. Omnibook 6100 models may have a second mini-PCI card.
See the table on page 2-34.
Caution
Handle the mini-PCI card only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage the
board by electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
• Small Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1. Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery. Remove the secondary battery if one is
installed.
2. Loosen the screw holding the mini-PCI cover (the cover retains the screw), and remove the cover.
Caution
Be gentle when removing and attaching antenna cables from the mini-PCI card. Damage to cables
or connectors can degrade performance.
3. Detach all the cables from the board.
4. Release the latches at the sides of the board, so that the free edge of the board pops up.
5. Gently pull the board out of its connector.
