No, I didn't. I'm going to have to devote a fair amount of time to a careful disassembly with copious notes and it's not something I can commit to right now, so it's reassembled and back on the shelf for the time being. I'm used to HP gear being a bit more user-serviceable, but I guess they did have a ton of stuff to cram into this supply and not a lot of space to put it in.
