of the LCD panel into the right end of the top cover.
The right edge of the LCD panel should press against the EMI sponge on the right side
of the top cover. The LCD panel should not rest on top of the EMI sponge.

flex cable lines up with the opening that is to the right of the left hinge.

5. Connect the inverter flex cable to the ZIF connector on the inverter.

to the connector on the right side of the inverter.
When the plug is all the way in the connector, the key slot in the center of the plug should
not be visible. If you can see the key slot, the plug is not in the connector correctly. Pull
the plug out, turn the plug over, and reinsert it into the connector.

inverter.
