Hinge Covers
  • Remove the hinge covers on each end of the laptop using a guitar pick and a spudger tool.

  • There are three plastic latches you are trying to release. They are circled in red.

  • You may need to adjust the spudger and guitar pick position to release all the latches.

  • Repeat for the hinge cover on the opposite side.

  • The hinge covers are not interchangeable. The bevel on the front faces the keyboard.
