Procedure

1.Using needle nose pliers, pull off the rubber plugs at each end of the door. Remove the springs, and set aside the plugs and springs.

Important: Be very careful not to damage or bend the heat exchanger pipes.

2. Pull the door away from the top case.

3.Remove the L-shaped pin from each end of the I/O door.

Note: The L-shaped pin has a knob at one end. The knobbed end holds the rubber plug onto the L-shaped pin.

4.Install the replacement I/O door. Make sure each L-shaped pin threads through the top case, inner clutch mount, spring, and plug.

Note: You might need to use a black stick to compress the spring while installing the plug on each L-shaped pin.

5.Reassemble and test the computer.
