Customer self repair
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and
allow for greater flexibility in performin g defective parts replacement. If during the dia gn osis period
HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the
use of a CSR part, H P w ill sh ip t h at part directly to you for replacement. There are two ca tegories of
CSR parts:
• Mandatory—Pa r ts for which customer self repair is mandator y. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be char g ed for the travel a nd labor costs of thi s ser vice.
• Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is option al. These parts ar e also designed for
customer se l f repair. If, however, you require t h at HP replace them for you, there may or may not
be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
NOTE: Some HP pa r t s are not designed fo r customer self repair. In order to sa tisfy the customer
warranty, HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the p art. These parts a r e i dentified
as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will
help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part
whether a defective pa r t must be returned to H P . In cases where it i s r equired to return the defective
part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five
(5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the
provided shipp in g m aterial. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP b illing you for the
replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and
determine t he courier/carr ier to be used.
