It is recommended to use new screws for replacements. If you have a torque screwdriver, tighten all screws firmly to the torque specified in the screw information table for each step. • Ensure that torque screwdrivers are calibrated correctly following country specifications. Hardware identity A set of valid hardware identities (HWIDs) are provided by Google. Google logs the exact hardware combination into a Chromebook and creates a HWID. The HWID is used to ensure that all parts are valid during the repair of the Chromebook. The HWID is used for the following purposes: • Auto-update new patches and software for the lifetime of the computer • Recover the computer to the factory default settings If unauthorized parts are installed, you might not get the correct auto-updates for your computer, or you might not recover your computer successfully to the factory default settings. For example, if you install a different model of the wireless LAN card, which is not the required configuration, the HWID will not match. HWID is checked by using the repair shim. For information about the repair shim, see "Overview of the Chromebook USB repair shim" on page 21. Prerequisite for replacing a FRU Use the repair shim before replacing any non-CRUs. The following is the list of CRUs for your Chromebook: 1. ac power adapter 2. Power cord 3. Bottom cover 4. Keyboard 42 Hardware Maintenance Manual
