IBM PC300PL - Top cover removal and replacement

Applicable to: World-Wide

SUMMARY:
This document provides supplemental information about removing and replacing the top cover on the IBM PC model PC300PL, machine type 6562. Particular emphasis is made to avoid damaging the front audio panel assembly during top cover removal and replacement.

REMOVING THE TOP COVER:
Locate both tabs on the rear of the computer cover and, while gently lifting them up, pull the cover toward you approximately 1/2" to release the back edge.

Next, while holding the cover by both sides, lift the rear of the cover up and towards you. Slide the cover forward until it comes free. Caution: DO NOT lift the entire cover straight up until the front of the cover is free. Doing so may damage the front audio panel assembly and volume control knob.

REPLACING THE TOP COVER:
With a hand on either side of the top cover, set the front edge of the top cover on the table in front of the computer. Prop the back edge on top of the computer and gently push the cover toward the rear of the computer until the back of the cover drops down.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you can see the volume control knob through its hole in front of the computer BEFORE pushing the cover back. The top cover should catch and fit the computer snugly. You will hear the tabs on the back of the cover click into place.

If the volume control knob doesn't line up with the hole, the audio panel assembly may be out of position and needs to be adjusted. You can adjust the position of the audio panel assembly by gently lifting or lowering the front edge, before you replace the top cover.
