2. Disconnect the display cable from its connector (eDP) on the system board.
3. Remove the display cable from the routing guides on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
4. Open the hinges to a 90-degree angle and place the computer on the edge of a flat surface.
5. Lift the palm-rest and keyboard assembly at an angle to free it from the hinges and remove it from the display assembly.
NOTE:
The display assembly is a Hinge-Up Design (HUD) assembly and cannot be further disassembled. If any
components in the display assembly malfunction and requires replacement, the entire display assembly has to be
replaced.
NOTE:
The power-adapter port is secured in place by the left hinge. There is no screw, tape, or adhesive securing the
power-adapter port to the palm-rest. Technicians should ensure that the power-adapter port has not fallen out when
the left hinge is removed.
