TP 360 - LCD Hinge and cover Replacement (EMEA Only)
Applicable to: EMEA
Abstract :
2620 MOD 360 LCD Hinge and cover Replacement.
Purpose :
To correct LCD cover damage caused by loose hinge screws.
Physical Check :
Any 2620 360C, CS, CE, and CSE with cracks or breaks in or near the hinge area of the LCD cover.
OR
Any 2620 360C, CS, CE, and CSE with hinge screws that are not tightly seated or are loose within the LCD unit.
Detail :
A small percentage of 2620 systems have been reported to have LCD cover stress cracks or breakage in the hinge area. It has been determined that this is caused by loose hinge screws. New level FRUs, listed below, have been released to correct this condition.
An installation instruction sheet is included in the Hinge Kits.
Note: In order to make these parts available quickly it was necessary to release the ECA without the instruction sheet in the initial shipment of Hinge Kits. This exception only relates to a small number of kits.
Note: There are 2 6mm screws and 2 4mm screws that hold the hinge to the back of the LCD rear cover. Replace the 6mm screws with coated 6mm screws (P/N in chart).
The 2 4mm brass screws that are removed from the hinge area of the LCD back cover should be coated with Loctite before they are reinstalled in the new cover (P/N in chart).
The 2 other screws holding the LCD to the cover and the 1 screw holding the card to the cover should be tightened if loose. Do not use Loctite on these screws.
Important :
The following FRU numbers in the far right column can be used until the FRU kits are available.
