Installing the Replacement Bottom Case
1.To attach the new bottom case, align the notches on the right and left sides of the case, then press down slightly to secure the case. Check the alignment of the seven screw holes to make sure the bottom case is properly positioned.
Important: Make sure that the seams between the bottom case and the frame are closed. Check the outside edges and around the battery well. Verify that the alignment tab on the underside of the bottom case (Figure 6A) has seated, and the case lies flat.
2.Replace the seven screws in the order shown. (Figure 6)
Note: The screws must go in straight and easily; if they do not, readjust the bottom case for proper alignment. Do not overtighten the screws or damage could result.
Important: To avoid damaging the case, be careful that the screwdriver tip does not slip out of the screw head during tightening.
