DETAIL:
This is a no cost ECA that will be applied to systems identified in the FEATURES and PHYSICAL CHECK sections.

A small percentage of 2619 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: 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 Part Numbers in the far right column can be used until the FRU kits are available.
