Error Codes
Diagnostic error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while ru\
nning 
the 
Compaq Diagnostic program. These error codes help identify possibly 
defective subassemblies. 
The following tables list error codes, a description of the error condit\
ion, and 
the action required to resolve the error condition. 
IMPORTANT: Retest the system after completing each step. If the problem has been re\
solved, 
do not proceed with the remaining steps.
For assistance in For the removal and replacement of a particular 
subassembly, see 
Removal and Replacement Procedures.

Electrostatic Discharge
This chapter provides general service information for the Compaq Presari\
o 
Series of portable computers. Adherence to the procedures and precaution\
s 
described in this chapter is essential for proper service.  The topics c\
overed 
include 
Electrostatic Discharge and its effects, a table of activities that 
Generate Static and the potential voltages, ways of Preventing Electrostatic 
Damage to Equipment, and Preventing Damage to the Drive, Grounding 
Methods, Grounding Work Areas, and Recommended Materials and Equipment 
to use in the service area. Return to 
Removal & Replacement Procedures.
Electrostatic Discharge
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conducto\
r can 
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is n\
either 
felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to 
electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and will work\
 
perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or it may function normally for a w\
hile, 
then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, bu\
t in 
many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device paramete\
rs 
or melt silicon junctions.
Generating Static
The table below shows how different activities generate static electrici\
ty and 
at different electrostatic voltage levels.
Typical Electrostatic Voltages
 Relative Humidity
Event 10%40%55%
Walking across carpet 35,000 V 15,000 V 7,500 V
Walking across vinyl floor 12,000 V5,000 V3,000 V
Motions of bench worker 6,000 V800 V400 V
Removing DIPS from plastic tubes 2,000 V700 V400 V
Removing DIPS from vinyl trays 11,500 V4,000 V2,000 V
Removing DIPS from Styrofoam 14,500 V5,000 V3,500 V
Removing bubble pack from PCBs 26,000 V20,000 V 7,000 V
Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 21,000 V11,000 V  5,000 V
NOTE:  700 volts can degrade a 
product.
    
Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and 
structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following proper pack\
aging 
and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage: 
n     To avoid hand contact, transport products in the static-safe containers \
such as tubes, 
bags, or boxes.
n     Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approv\
ed containers or 
packaging.
n     Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive\
 at static-free stations.
n     Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their contai\
ner.
n     Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assem\
bly.
n     Place reusable electronic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective \
packaging or 
conductive foam.
n     Use transporters and conveyors made of anti-static belts and metal rolle\
r bushings. 
Mechanized equipment used for moving materials must be wired to ground a\
nd proper 
materials selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not possi\
ble, use an ionizer 
to dissipate electric charges.
Preventing Damage to Drive
To prevent static damage to hard drive and diskette drive, use the follo\
wing 
precautions: 
n     Handle drive gently, using static-guarding techniques.
n     Store drive in the original shipping containers.
n     Avoid dropping drive from any height onto any surface.
n     Handle drive on surfaces that have at least one inch of shock-proof foam\
.
n     Always place drive PCB assembly side down on the foam.
Grounding Methods
The method for grounding must include a wrist strap or a foot step at a \
grounded work area. When seated, wear a wrist-strap connected to a 
grounded system. When standing, use footstraps and a grounded floor mat.\
Static-Shielding Protection Levels
Method Voltages
Anti-static Plastic 1,500
Carbon-Loaded Plastic 7,500
Metallized Laminate 15,000
Grounding Work Areas
To prevent static damage at the work area, use the following precautions\
: 
n     Cover the work area with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a\
 wrist strap 
connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.\
n     Use static-dissipative mats, Heel straps, or air ionizers to give added \
protection.
n     Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the \
case or PCB 
laminate. Handle them only at static-free work areas.
n     Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
n     Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connector\
s or test 
equipment.
n     Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly c\
ontact dissipative 
surfaces.
n     Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic \
assembly aids and 
Styrofoam.
Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, vacuums, that ar\
e 
conductive.
Use a portable field service kit with a static dissipative vinyl pouch t\
hat folds 
out of a work mat. Also use a wrist strap and a ground cord for the work\
 
surface. Ground the cord to the chassis of the equipment undergoing test\
 or 
repair.
Grounding Equipment
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to the \
equipment:
Wrist-straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10% 
resistance to the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must b\
e 
worn snug against the skin. On grounded mats without banana-plug 
connectors, connect a wrist strap with alligator clips.
Heelstraps/Toestraps/Bootstraps can be used at standing work areas and a\
re 
compatible with most types of boots and shoes. On conductive floors or 
dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a minimum of 1 megohm\
 
resistance between operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive \
strips must be worn in contact with the skin.
Recommended Materials and Equipment
Other materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing\
 
static electricity include: 
n     Anti-static tape
n     Anti-static smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors
n     Conductive bins, and other assembly or soldering aids
n     Conductive foam
n     Conductive tabletop work areas with ground cord of 1 megohm of resistanc\
e
n     Static dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground
n     Field service kits
n     Static awareness labels
n     Wrist-straps and footwear straps providing 1 megohm +/- 10% resistance
n     Material handling packages
n     Conductive plastic bags
n     Conductive plastic tubes
n     Conductive tote boxes
n     Metal tote boxes
n     Opaque shielding bags
n     Transparent metallized shielding bags
n     Transparent shielding tubes

Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind\
 
during the disassembly and assembly of the computer.
Tool and Software Requirements
To service the computer, you need the following: 
l     Torx T-9 screwdriver
l     3/16-inch and 7/32-inch nut drivers (for screw locks and standoffs)
l     Small, standard screwdriver
l     Small, Phillips screwdriver
l     Diagnostics software
l     Service Kit
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. If an incorrect\
 
screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Com\
paq 
strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept 
with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.\
IMPORTANT:  As each subassembly is removed from the computer, place it away from the\
 
work area to prevent damage to the subassembly. 
Return to Removal & Replacement Procedures.
