8-2-6-5 LCD Display Cover Hinges Installation Procedure
NOTE: When installing the replacement hinges, apply a coating of Loctite 242 glue to each of the
8 screws, as and when these are returned to their respective locations.
1.) While supporting the LCD Display cover with one hand, carefully place a replacement hinge in the
correct position on the Left side of the LCD Display cover (refer to Figure 8-26 on page 8-22).
2.) Carefully place a replacement hinge in the correct position on the Right side of the LCD Display
cover (refer to Figure 8-26).
NOTE: The cover has a degree of sideways free play i.e. it can slide from left to right on the hinges’
axle. The hinges on the right-hand side must be aligned with the holes in the Bottom Assembly
as explained in the next step.
3.) Gently maneuver the LCD cover by raising and lowering it while exerting pressure to slide the
LCD Display Cover until the hinge holes are aligned with the Bottom Assembly screw holes - see
right hinge in Figure 8-29 on page 8-24.
NOTE: The axle hinges should be adjusted so that on each hinge, the axle should protrude equally as shown
in Figure 8-28 below.
4.) On the Left hinge: return and fasten the 2 screws (previously removed) to the Bottom Assembly,
making sure the hinge is properly secured. Do not over-tighten the screws. Refer to Figure 8-29.
5.) On the Right hinge: return and fasten the 2 screws (previously removed) to the Bottom Assembly,
making sure the hinge is properly secured. Do not over-tighten the screws. Refer to Figure 8-29.
NOTICE
It is important to properly adjust the alignment of the LCD cover with the Bottom Assembly,
before returning the previously-removed parts, as described below.
