Hinge replacement on D620 Latitude

Question

Hola. I have some new hinges for my 'ol reliable D620. I have taken the screen apart and get how to do the top half, but I am a bit confused on exactly how to disassemble the bottom part (base).

Can anyone please help me with some instruction or images on what pieces and screws need to be removed to access the bottom part of the hinge?

Many thanks!

At least the palmrest has to come out -- you should be able to change the hinge without removing the system board. www.dell.com/.../latitude-d620

Thanks for the quick replies. Once I got everything disassembled, I found that the center pin on one of the hinges somehow became displaced, and was sticking out. Pushing that back in solved the problem.

If anyone needs some new OEM hinges for Latitude D series, lemme know- I have an unused set :)
