Release Latches
The release latches serve to lock the display and system units together when the computer is in the closed position. Each latch assembly consists of three parts:
o Latch actuator
o Latch hook
o Latch spring
The release latch assembly is available as a field replaceable unit. The display bezel must be removed to replace the latch assemblies.
The release latches are mounted in the display unit back cover. The display bezel must be removed to access the latches. The latches snap into place and require a simple depression of a tab to be released from the display cover.
Brightness/Contrast Control Actuator(s)
The displays have a controllable backlight intensity that can be adjusted with a slide switch. The CSTN panels also have slide switch for contrast control. The actuators for these adjustments are available as field replaceable units.
The brightness/contrast control actuator(s) (contrast control actuator on CSTN displays only) are mounted on the display bezel with a snap action. The display bezel must be removed to allow the tabs on the back side of the actuator to be depressed for removal. When installing a display bezel, make certain the brightness/contrast actuator(s) aligns with the brightness/contrast control(s) in the display assembly.
Clutch Assemblies
The clutch assemblies provide the hinge function between the display unit and system unit and also provide continuous tension that allows the display unit to be positioned at any angle.
The clutch assemblies are available in pairs as field replaceable units. Each clutch assembly is mounted to the display unit with two screws and to the system unit with two screws. Removal and replacement of the clutch assemblies requires removal of the display bezel and the CPU cover (on the system unit).
