Reassembly Notes
Caution
Be sure to replace display components with compatible parts. Components may be damaged if
compatible parts are not used. See the table on page 2-11.
• Before you install the display bracket, secure the inverter/MB cable to the case near the hinge area
with a piece of Kapton tape.
• Make sure the EPE foam is not placed under the display bracket. If there are flaps, they go on top
of the bracket.
• Position the right cable correctly before you install the hinge screws. It should protrude from the
case almost 6 cm (about 2 inches).
• Install each hinge so the slit in the housing faces into the display case.
• Before installing the LCD module, make sure the EPE foam is properly positioned inside the
display bracket.
• Secure the LCD flex cable to the LCD module with a piece of Kapton tape next to the LCD
connector.
• Position the cables properly in the hinges before installing the bezel.
• Make sure the bezel snaps to the case along all edges. Pull to the side to help seat the snaps.
