TP 700,720 - 9552 Stiff or creaking hinge replacement kit
Applicable to: World-Wide
Service Information:
An LCD hinge replacement kit, FRU P/N85G8199, is now available. This kit contains two hinges, screw plugs, and installation instructions for the 9552 700C and 720C systems.
The hinges of the LCD should be replaced if they creak or chatter when the LCD is opened or closed. Continued operation of overly stiff hinges can cause the keyboard case or LCD case to crack near the hinge connecting points. A new LCD case FRU P/N44G3875 is available if the LCD case has cracked.
Note:
Do not use any lubrication on the hinge. It will not migrate into the hinge plates and may contaminate the plastic or LCD.
