5. Remove the palmrest assembly.
6. Remove a latch button from the bottom case assembly by squeezing the snap tabs in
the center of the latch.
Apply downward pressure to the tabs while squeezing them together (tweezers work
well) to eject the latch button from the bottom of the case without loosening the upper
latch assembly (spring and slider). If the upper latch assembly does come loose:
a. Reinsert the spring onto the slider, and reinstall both pieces in the latch
housing on the inside of the case.
b. Ensure that the slider is inserted so that the side with the two bumps is facing
the back of the case, and the surface with the wear ribs is facing the bottom of
the case.
7. Hold the upper latch assembly in place while you snap the new latch button in from
underneath the base, making certain the snap tabs are fully engaged in the slider.
8. Ensure that the newly installed latch assembly moves smoothly and freely when
pushed and released.
