Procedure Important: In the following steps, note that because of the position of the bezel, the designation of right and left differs. For example, the right hinge with bezel brace is removed from the left side of the bezel because you are viewing the bezel from its inner side. Likewise, the left hinge with bezel brace is removed from the right side of the bezel. 1. From the left side of the bezel, remove the three screws. 2. Remove the right hinge with bezel brace from the left side of the bezel.
3. Replacement Note: If you are replacing the right hinge with bezel brace with a new one, make sure you transfer the sleep magnet to the replacement right bezel brace. Use a black stick to tilt the magnet out of the magnet holder on the right bezel brace. Important: Make sure the magnet is in place before reassembling the display module.
4. From the right side of the bezel, slide out the left hinge with bezel brace (no screws and no magnet on this side). Replacement Note: To distinguish the right hinge with bezel brace from the left hinge with bezel brace, note that the right hinge has three flanges on the outer edge for the three screws. The left hinge has no screw flanges.
Identifying the Replacement Hinges Before ordering a replacement hinge with bezel brace, verify the LCD panel manufacturer and hinge marking, as follows. 1. Check the manufacturer label shown on the LCD panel.
2. If the label on the LCD panel shows Samsung as the manufacturer, order replacement hinges that show a SAM-L or SAM-R designation on the outer arm of the bezel brace. • To replace a SAM-L hinge, order 922-5714.
3. If the label on the LCD panel shows IDTech as the manufacturer, order replacement hinges that show an LG-L or LG-R designation on the outer arm of the bezel brace. • To replace a LG-L hinge, order 922-5712.
