    Hinge Replacement and 
    Alignment
    Storing the computer upright on the hinge edge can result in the display inadvertently

    When replacing hinges, make sure they are properly aligned to minimize any gaps where the 
    display housing mounts to the top case.

    Procedure
    1 Insert alignment guide 
    between flat bottom 
    of hinge and raised 
    black trim on display 
    clamshell.
    2 If gap between hinge 
    and trim is out of 
    tolerance, adjust clutch 
    by removing 2 T6 
    mounting screws.
    3 Move clutch slightly 
    until gap is 5.7mm  
    +/- 0.1mm, the 
    same height as the 
    alignment guide.
    4 Reinstall 2 screws, and 
    reassemble computer.
    5 Verify that display 
    opens and closes 
    completely and there 
    are no gaps between 
    top case and display 
    housing.
