Reattaching the Front Door and Hinge Arms

To prevent damage to your computer, the front door is designed to "break away" if it is lifted up too far. If the front door breaks away, you might need to reattach both the front door and the hinge arms.

1.Shut down the computer.

2.Lower the hinge arms to the vertical position.

3.Align the two clips on the inside of the front door with the two hinge arms.

4.Press inward on the front door until it clips to both hinge arms.

Reattaching the Hinge Arms

1.Shut down the computer.

2.Disconnect the power cable from your computer.

3.Remove the front door, if it is attached.

The front door snaps off of the two hinge arms.

4.Remove the front-panel insert above the front-door bay area.

Pull the bottom of the insert with your fingers to remove it.
