Replacing the Battery and Module Bay Latches
1. If you are replacing the upper latch assembly:
a. Slide the spring onto the slider, and install the upper latch assembly in the holding feature on the inside of the
bottom case.
b. Ensure that the slider is inserted into the hole, that the side of the latch with the two bumps is facing the back of
the case, and that the side with the wear rib is facing the front of the case.
NOTE: The latch will not function properly if the slider is oriented incorrectly.
2. Hold down the upper latch assembly and snap in the new latch release button through the bottom case, ensuring that
the snap tabs are fully engaged in the upper latch assembly.
3. Ensure that the newly installed latch release button moves smoothly and freely when pushed and released.
