This section presents a design overview of key parts and features 
of the computer. Refer to Chapter 3, “Illustrated Parts Catalog,” 
to identify replacement parts, and Chapter 5, “Removal and 
Replacement Procedures,” for disassembly steps.
The system board provides the following device connections:
■AMD Turion and Mobile AMD Sempron processors
■Audio
■Display
■ExpressCard
■Fan
■Hard drive
■Intel Core Duo and Celeron processors

CAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6-cm 
(3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the computer.
The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is 
controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to turn on 
automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These 
conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system 
power consumption, power management/battery conservation 
configurations, battery fast charging, and software. Exhaust air is 
displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of 
the computer.

Troubleshooting
ÅWAR N I N G:  Only authorized technicians trained by HP should repair 
this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed 
to allow only subassembly-/module-level repair. Because of the 
complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt 
to make repairs at the component level or modifications to any printed 
wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any 
indication of component replacement or printed wiring board 
modification may void any warranty or exchange allowances.
