WE EXITED VNAV BY USING VERTICAL SPEED REMAINDER OF DESCENT.  ACFT GROUNDED.  WHILE ON DEFERRAL, PILOT REPORTS IN VNAV PATH BEGINNING DESCENT, ACFT GOT 700 FT HIGH ON PATH AND 25 KTS SLOW.  TOOK OVER MANUALLY USING VERTICAL SPEED. VNAV OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE ESTABLISHED IN DESCENT.  AUTOPILOT "A" ENGAGED. R & R NR 1 & NR 2 FMC AND INSTALLED OPC, LDDB, ADDB, AND MEDB SOFTWARE USING MEDIA TYPE 1 TO FMC NR 1 AND CROSSLOADED TO FMC NR 2. INSTALL REF AMM 34-61-02. ALL INSTALLATION TESTS COMPLETED IAW AMM 34-61-02-400-801 EXCEPT TASK 34-61-00-730-801 ONLY COMPLETED THRU PARAGRAPH F.  STEP F AND FWD STILL REQUIRES COMPLETION.
