Good points made - no income for the company, However on the other side of

download even though there is no income to them. I wonder if it was a
requirement of them to supply HP manuals when they absorbed HP.
I just purchased a new HP Pavilion laptop and was surprised to see that you
can download a service manual from HP with part numbers and it has
disassembly instructions - don't know of any other mfgs that do that. Of
course HP computer company does not have any connection with the original HP
