Installing The Base Cover - Dell Latitude 9420 Service Manual

Steps
1. Loosen the eight captive screws that secure the base cover to the system.
2. Using a plastic scribe, pry open the base cover starting from the recesses that are located in the U-shaped indents near the
hinges at the top edge of the base cover.
NOTE: Do not lift the base cover from the top side immediately after prying it from the recesses, as this will cause
damage to the base cover.
3. Work your way around the sides of the base cover.
4. Hold the left and right sides of the base cover, and remove the base cover from the system.
NOTE: If the thermal pad on the back of the base cover gets detached, adhere it back onto the cover.
