NOTICE: Read "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer" before performing
the following procedure.
1 Remove the hard drive.
2 Remove the keyboard assembly.
3 Remove the display assembly.
4 Remove the palmrest assembly.
5 Remove the system board.
6 Remove the battery latch button from the bottom case assembly by
squeezing the snap tabs.
Apply pressure to the latch and spring while unsnapping the snap tabs
to prevent the latch assembly from coming loose from the case. If the
latch assembly does come loose from the case:
a Reinsert the spring onto the slider on the latch, and reinstall the
module latch into the holding features on the inside of the case.
b Ensure that the slider is inserted in its respective hole, that the
side of the latch with the two bumps is facing the back of the case,
and that the surface with the wear ribs is facing the bottom of the
case.
NOTE: The latch will not function properly if the slider is oriented
incorrectly.
7 Snap in the new latch button from the bottom of the base, making
certain the snap tabs are fully engaged in the latch.
8 Ensure that the newly installed latch moves smoothly and freely when
pushed and released.
9 Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the modular bay latch.
