Opening the Sealed Case
NOTE
4-26
6. Turn the unit over so the display is facing up. Keep the handle closest to
you. The case screws will fall out of their holes as you do this.
To avoid losing any screws, apply tape over the screw holes before turning the
case rightside up.
7. Open the case as follows:
Start opening the case at the back edge to break any adhesion along
a.
the gasket.
Pull the back of the top case up slightly.
b.
Then pull up the front of the top case.
c.
While pulling up, slide the top case away from you (toward the back
d.
of the unit) to avoid catching the Data Card Eject button on the bot-
tom case.
8. Once the case halves are separated, pivot the top case to the right so it
turns upside down. Lay the top case on the work surface upside down and
next to the bottom case section. See Figure 4-15.
9. The two case halves will be joined by a ribbon cable. As you separate the
case halves, take care that the ribbon cable is not damaged or pulled off its
connectors in the top and bottom case.
