Figure 4-19. Hinge Covers Removal

Each of the hinge covers is held in place by three tabs that fit into slots on the
display assembly base. The microphone is inside the right hinge cover. To
remove the hinge covers, follow these steps:
1. Remove the display assembly from the computer.
2. Place the display assembly faceup on the work surface.
3. Rotate the display assembly base until the display assembly hinges are
pointing upward at approximately a 45-degree angle.
4. To remove a hinge cover, press in on the front of the cover to release the
hinge cover's front tab. Then rotate the cover in the direction of the
arrow, and lift the cover away from the display assembly base.
To replace the hinge covers, set the display assembly base in the position
shown, and reinsert the hinge cover into its original position, making sure that
its two tab slots engage the tabs on the display assembly base. Then rotate the
hinge cover opposite to the direction shown in Figure 4-18 until its front tab
engages the tab slot in the display assembly base.
