Introduction

Replacing the stand on the HP IQ506.

The part number for the stand this system uses is the HP 507866-001 stand. Note: This part does not include screws. You will need to get the diameter with a digital caliper if you do not have the screws. I DO NOT have this information to hand right now.

Stand (HP Part Number 507866-001)

Step 1

Unplug the power supply from the system.

Step 2

Unscrew the RAM door from the system. Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver. Once you do this, unclip it from the bottom and pull forward.

Step 3

Authors' note: The driver used here is from the LEGACY Pro Tech toolkit that was discontinued in 2015 or thereabouts. This kit is no longer available new, and the driver had limited torque; however, it was all I had at the time. Use a standalone Phllips #1 driver (in tool list) if you are struggling with a multi bit driver.
