The OB4000 DSTN may report the display RAM to be 1024KBs, however, it is  
512KB. Later versions have corrected this. It is not a hardware problem but a  
reporting problem.  
Display/video  
Display RAM is not upgradable.  
Display Manufacturer: Hitachi  
Video graphics controller chip: Western Digital 90c24 rocket chip.  
External video resolution (both types): Supports VGA/SVGA

noninterlaced mode.  
Auto detection of external monitor without rebooting  
Note: Includes option to simultaneously display external video

TFT display manufacturing is a high precision but imperfect technology and  
manufacturers cannot currently produce large displays that are cosmetically  
perfect. Most if not all TFT displays will exhibit some level of cosmetic  
imperfection. These cosmetic imperfections may be visible to the customer under  
varying display conditions and can appear as bright, dim or dark spots.  
TFT Display  
Quality  
This issue is common across all vendors supplying TFT displays in their products  
and is not specific to the HP OmniBook display.  
The HP OmniBook TFT displays meet or exceed all TFT manufacturer's  
standards for cosmetic quality of TFT displays. HP does not warrant that the  
displays will be free of cosmetic imperfections.  
TFT displays may have a small number of cosmetic imperfections and still  
conform to the display manufacturers cosmetic quality specifications.  
Here are some guidelines to use in determining what action to take on a customer  
complaint of cosmetic imperfection in their TFT display:  
1. The unit should be viewed in the customer's normal operating condition.  
This means if the customer uses the unit predominately in DOS, or Windows, or in  
some other application or combination of applications, that is where the  
determination shall be made. Self test is not a normal operating condition and is  
not a sufficient tool to interpret display quality.  
2. In the customer's normal operating mode:  
a. If 4 or more variant pixels appear clustered in the area approximated by a  
thumbprint on the display surface, then the display should be considered for  
replacement.  
___________  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
b. On OmniBook 4000CT models, if more than 30 total pixels anywhere on the  
display are bad, then the display should be considered for replacement. On  
OmniBook 600CT and OmniBook 5000CT models, if more than 15 total pixels  
anywhere on the display are bad, then the display should be considered for  
replacement.  
These are the only conditions in this guideline that may call for a replacement due  
to a defect in material or workmanship based on the HP Limited Warranty  
Statement.  
3. If a display is considered for replacement, it should be clear to the customer  
that cosmetic variations on the replacement display may also exist, and may  
require the customer to use a work-around to obscure the cosmetic imperfection.  
4. Customers with cosmetic-based complaints only, that do not conform to the  
above conditions and tests will not normally be considered for display  
replacement. It will be left to the judgment of the HP-responsible person who, in  
working with the customer, to identify work-arounds that are reasonable and  
appropriate for the individual customer. Customers who must have a more  
perfect display solution should consider switching to an OmniBook with a DSTN  
display.  
We expect over time that the industry will continue to improve in their ability to  
produce displays with fewer inherent cosmetic imperfections and will adjust our  
HP guidelines as the improvements are implemented.  
Keyboard: 85-key touch-type keyboard with embedded numeric keypad and 12  
Fn keys. Wrist pad provides comfort for extended keyboard use. External 6-pin  
mini-DIN interface for external keyboard connection. (HP external keyboard (101-  
key) Part number C3756A)  
User interface  
Pointing device: Built in 25MM trackball positioned in the center  
of the wrist pad for easy access and comfort. Industry compliant  
to maintain software compatibility.

Battery Life; rundown (approx.):  
3-4 hrs on DSTN DX2/50  
2-3 hrs on TFT DX4/100  
Recharge time: Approx. 75 minutes in suspend mode or off position. The battery  
trickle charges while the unit is turned on. It takes several days to gain a full  
charge while trickle charging.

Battery life can be doubled by installing second battery in place of the 3.5 "  
flexible drive. The OmniBook will recognize the additional battery and provide  
battery status of both batteries (can be installed hot).  
Smart Battery: The OmniBook 4000 uses "Smart" battery technology. The  
battery itself contains an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that is  
able to continuously test and track the status of the battery. The OmniBook BIOS  
can then receive high-quality information about the battery condition directly from  
the hardware and not interrupt the CPU. The OmniBook 4000 no longer has to  
rely on software to determine the condition of the battery. The condition can be  
checked using two methods that receive information from the BIOS  
(CONFIGURATION [fn][f2], Windows Control Panel Power).  
Energy S.T.A.R. compliant  
AC Adapter: 100 to 240 Vac adapter (50 to 60 Hz) input; 21 Vdc, 1.35A output.  
Use only an HP F1072A AC adapter (the type shipped with the OmniBook). Using  
any other adapter could damage the OmniBook and void the warranty. Always  
plug it into a grounded outlet..  
Power management options: Advanced; Standard; Off; Custom.  
Optional power accessories from HP:  
A fully charged NiMH battery in storage will loose 20% of its charge per month in  
storage.  
Designed for desktop use. It has an internal power supply and plugs in to the wall.

System password: When the password setting is enabled, a window will pop-up  
to allow the user to enter the old password, enter a new password and to verify  
the new  
If the user forgets the system password, there is a master password that will  
unlock the Omnibook. The user calls Technical Support to determine this master  
password as follows:  
Password  
Decode  
1. Support will tell the user the keys to type at the password entry screen:  
[alt][shft][f10]  
2. The Omnibook generates and displays an encoded master password.  
This is displayed under the normal password entry area. At this point, this  
is the only password that will unlock the Omnibook unless the user presses  
[ESC] to remove the encoded master from the password entry screen.  
Then the user's stored password can be entered.  
3. The user reads the encoded master password to Support.  
4. Support runs a program that decodes the encoded password, and reads  
the decoded password (alphanumeric) to the user.  
5. The user types in the decoded password.  
6. Omnibook decodes the encoded master password it generated and  
compares it to the decoded password typed in by the user.  
7. If the two passwords match, the Omnibook is unlocked. The forgotten  
password is automatically erased. Support can then guide the user through  
the process of entering a new password.  
8. If the two passwords do not match, the previous sequence must be  
repeated until the user correctly enters a master password.  
The encoded master password is an eight-character alphanumeric sequence that  
the Omnibook generates at random every time the appropriate keys are  
pressed in the password entry screen. Because it is generated randomly, a  
master password can only be used to unlock the Omnibook once. If the user  
forgets the password at another time, it will require another call to Support. (If  
the user presses the appropriate keys by mistake, pressing [ESC] will allow  
entering the stored password.)

The password descramble programs for the HP OmniBook PCs are protected as  
HP Company Private information. They may not be copied, backed-up, printed or  
distributed. There are only six official copies of each program.  
Password  
Decode Policy  
In addition to protecting the program itself, it's use is also controlled. Hewlett-  
Pakard and authorized support providers must ensure with written evidence that  
the OmniBook that is being "descrambled" is actually in the hands of the unit's  
actual and current owner. This requires a sales receipt showing the unit serial  
number and owner's name, or a written statement from the owner attesting that  
they are the owner of the unit. The statement can be a FAX copy of the  
document. The fact that the unit is in the hands of an HP representative on the  
behalf of the customer is not evidence of ownership. In addition, HP will not  
descramble a unit for any non-owner, even if it involves law enforcement  
agencies. If you receive such a request, you should notify management and HP  
Corporate Legal immediately. (These requests may require a court order prior  
to our participation.)  
Further, you must log the name, serial number and date of the running of the  
descramble program, and file the written backup with the log. The log and  
backup is subject to standard record's retention process and review.  
The final issue relating to descramble of passwords is that HP cannot provide  
information to users that would assist them in improperly descrambling a  
password and opening a unit.

Notebook Hardware Structure  
Field Replaceable Assemblies  
Installing memory  
(End User Replaceable)  
The OmniBook 4000 family has two memory locations for expanding system RAM.  
The memory location on the side of the OmniBook that has the battery also has the  
factory RAM module installed. To add an additional 8MB or 16MB of RAM, use the  
location on the other side of the unit near the floppy drive. If the base unit has  
4MB or 8MB of memory, and you want to expand the memory to more than 20MB  
or 24MB, then the original 4MB or 8MB module must be replace with a larger  
module.

either side of the display line up parallel with their slots in the top case. If they are  
not parallel, the post will get caught inside the top case before the display is seated  
completely. If this happens, remove the display and line the posts up properly.  
Also take care that the Icon Assembly flex cable is tucked inside of the “tunnel” of  
the Icon Assembly. This will prevent the cable from crimping and possibly  
malfunctioning.

The OmniBook 4000 will only detect one pointing device at a time. Therefore, if  
an external mouse is connected to the EPR, the track ball will not be active.  
When an external mouse is detached, the pointing devices settings must be  
manually updated in the Setup for the change to be detected.

Troubleshooting and Repair  
The OmniBook 4000C and CT will not charge the batteries while in "ON"  
mode.  
Known Hardware  
Issues  
Certain HP Vectra PCs will not link over I/R with the OB 4000. Refer to the  
technical newsletter for details.  
The complete self-test procedure is documented in the OmniBook 4000  
Operating Guide.  
OmniBook Self-  
Test  
A note about interpreting self-test results.  
Self-test alone should not be used to diagnose a hardware problem. If the self-  
test results are absolutely clear and repeatable, confirm the results with at least  
two other non-self-test failure symptoms.  
The OmniBook 4000 BIOS includes a POST facility that tests a number of  
hardware and firmware items in the unit at each cold-start (BOOT or RESET).  
These multiple beep codes indicate a failure in a simple test of:  
First POST:  
BEEP CODES  
a portion of base memory  
Flash BIOS checksum  
a portion of conventional memory  
a portion of extended memory  
If the unit fails to boot:  
all accessories are removed, including memory cards, external floppy, port  
expander, modems, PCMCIA cards, LAN cards, printers, VGA-out cables,  
external pointing devices, clean AC power is provided (no "chained" battery  
chargers or auto adapters), and press reset.  
If the unit still fails to boot, it requires service.  
Beep codes  
Beep codes are used to identify a POST error that occurs when the screen is  
not available. Once the screen is operating, diagnostic messages are  
reported to the screen. There are beep codes for both fatal and nonfatal  
system board errors.

There are a number of POST tests that are performed after the BEEP Code  
tests. Failure of one or more of these tests will result in a displayed failure code  
(i.e., 03044). It is extremely important not to interpret a failure code immediately  
as a hardware failure until:  
Last POST:  
DISPLAY CODES  
all accessories are removed, including memory cards external floppy, port  
expander, modems, PCMCIA cards, LAN cards, printers, VGA-out cables,  
external pointing devices, clean AC power is provided (no "chained" battery  
chargers or auto adapters), and press reset.  
If the unit still fails to boot, it requires service.  
NOTE: make sure the display is adjusted to be visible.  
Within POST, there are three kinds of messages:  
PhoenixBIOS  
POST Messages  
(Power On Self  
Test)  
Error messages: These messages appear when there is a failure in  
hardware, software, or firmware.  
Informational messages: These messages provide infon-nation to the user  
but require no action.  
Beep codes: This kind of warning sounds when POST errors occur and the  
screen is not available.  
Because the OmniBook cannot be repaired by a service center below the FRU  
level, these messages will provided limited troubleshooting or repair information.  
However, the support specialist and service technician will be able to identify  
trends in repairs from these codes.
