Reattaching the Front Door

To prevent damage to your computer, the front door is designed to "break away" if it is opened too far. To reattach the front door:

1Shut down the computer through the Start menu (see page 21).

2Ensure that your computer and attached devices are turned off. If your computer and attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your computer, turn them off now.

NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network wall jack.

3Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

4Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then press the power button to ground the system board.

NOTE: The top hinge arm clicks when it is moved to the closed position—the bottom hinge arm does not.

5Move the hinge arms to the closed position.
