Replacement Procedure
On the bottom of the unit, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the slot at the
edge of the BIOS cover and pry it off.
With the display fully open, slide off the hinge cover about 5 mm, then lift it off. Use
your finger or a small tool to push outward next to the hinge.
To reinstall the cover, slide the open end of the cover onto the hinge, then lift the
closed end over the bump and slide it in.
1. Remove the floppy drive or other plug-in module.
2. With the display fully open, slide off each hinge cover about 5 mm, then lift it
off. Use your finger or a small tool to push outward next to the hinge.
3. Pry out and pop up the right end of the icon window cover at the plug-in
module slot, then pop off the cover.
Remove the hard drive (see page 2-5). Slide the RAM cover about 3 mm toward the
hard drive opening, then lift off the cover.
Open the door and unsnap it from the center hinge. Flex the center of the door until
one of the side tabs releases.
To replace the center I/O door hinge, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver behind
the flat plate and pop the hinge out of the case. When installing the center hinge,
make sure the hinge support curves downward.
Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver under the end of the foot and pry it loose. To
replace, firmly press the adhesive side of the foot into the recess.
