Replacing the Drive Door
To prevent damage to your computer, the drive door is designed to "break away" from the computer if it is opened too far. If the drive door detaches from the
computer without disassembling, perform the removal procedure in reverse.
If the drive door is open and it is opened too far, instead of breaking away from the computer in one piece, the drive door may disassemble into several
smaller pieces. If the drive door disassembles:
1.
If necessary, reattach the door hinges to the door bracket. Ensure that the hinge tabs are away from the door bracket.
2.
Attach the door bracket/door hinge assembly to the door, starting with the lower part of each door hinge.
