CAUTION:The information in this section is intended for authorized service technicians only.

The following images indicate the location of the power-adapter port and provide a visual representation of the removal procedure.

Image of removing the power adapter port

Remove the two screws (M2.5x5) that secure the right display hinge to the system board and the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
Using a plastic scribe, lift the right display hinge away from the palm-rest and keyboard assembly to access the power-adapter port.
Disconnect the power-adapter port cable from the connector on the system board.
Remove the power-adapter port from the slot on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
NOTE:The power-adapter port is secured in place by the right display hinge. There is no screw, tape, or adhesives securing the power-adapter port to the palm rest. As a result, technicians should take note of whether the power-adapter port has fallen out of the computer during subsequent removal procedures.
