Hinge Covers

Dell™ Inspiron™ XPS and Inspiron 9100 Service Manual

CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety instructions in your Owner's Manual.

NOTICE: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as the back panel) on the computer.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the main battery before you begin working inside the computer.

Follow the instructions in "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer."

NOTE: The hinge cover consists of three separate pieces: the left cover, the right cover, and the center cover. To remove computer components, you must remove all three covers except for when removing the keyboard or the reserve battery. For these two components, remove only the center cover.

Remove the left and right hinge covers:
1. Open the display.
1. Slide the left and right hinge covers forward (toward the back of the computer) and then slide them to the side, away from the computer.
