Battery and Module Bay Latches

Dell™Latitude™C840ServiceManual



Removing and Replacing the Battery and Module Bay Latches

1. Follow the instructions in "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer."

2. Remove the keyboard.

3. Remove the hinge cover.

4. Remove the display assembly.

5. Remove the palm rest.

6. Remove a latch button from the bottom case by squeezing the snap tabs in the center of the latch.

Tape over or hold down the upper latch assembly (spring and slider) to hold the assembly in place. Apply downward pressure to the snap tabs while

squeezing them together (tweezers work well) to eject the latch button from the underside of the bottom case without loosening the upper latch

assembly. If the upper latch assembly does come loose:

a. Slide the spring onto the slider, and reinstall both pieces in the latch housing on the inside of the bottom case.

b. Ensure that the slider is inserted so that the side with the two bumps is facing the back of the bottom case, and the surface with the wear ribs

lies against the upper surface of the bottom case.

7. Hold the upper latch assembly in place while you snap the new latch button in from underneath the bottom case, making certain the snap tabs are fully

engaged in the slider.

Ensure that the newly installed latch assembly moves smoothly and freely when pushed and released.

NOTICE: Disconnect the computer and attached devices from electrical outlets and remove any installed batteries.

NOTICE: To avoid ESD, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching unpainted metal on the computer.

Recommended Tools

The procedures in this document require the following tools:

l#1 magnetized Phillips screwdriver

lSmall flat-blade screwdriver

lMicroprocessor extractor

Computer Orientation



CAUTION: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is

not covered by your warrantly. Read and follow all safety instructions in "Safety and EMC Instructions: Portable Computers" in your System

Information Guide.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.

NOTE: Before turning off the computer, ensure that the computer is not in a power-management mode.

NOTICE: To avoid component damage, always remove any installed batteries before you service the computer.

Screw Identification

When you are removing and replacing components, photocopy the placemat as a tool to lay out and keep track of the component screws. The placemat

provides the number of screws and the sizes.

Screw Identification



NOTICE: When reinstalling a screw, you must use a screw of the correct diameter and length. Ensure that the screw is properly aligned with its

corresponding hole, and avoid overtightening.

Microprocessor Module

Dell™Latitude™C840ServiceManual



Removing the Microprocessor Module

1. Follow the instructions in "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer."

2. Remove the keyboard.

3. Remove the hinge cover.

4. Remove the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.

5. Remove the microprocessor module.

a. Loosen the cam screw that secures the microprocessor module. The location of the screw and the rotation direction may vary with the socket

manufacturer; look for small icons indicating open and locked positions.

Microprocessor Cam Screw (Example)



NOTICE: Disconnect the computer and attached devices from electrical outlets and remove any installed batteries.

NOTICE: To avoid ESD, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching unpainted metal on the computer.

NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the microprocessor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. The

oils in your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.

NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight up. Do not bend the pins.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to the microprocessor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the microprocessor when loosening the cam screw

(see "Microprocessor Cam Screw").

NOTICE: Hold the microprocessor down while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor.



b. Use the microprocessor extraction tool to remove the microprocessor module.

Replacing the Microprocessor Module

1. Align the pin-1 triangle on the microprocessor with the pin-1 triangle in the socket, insert the microprocessor into the socket, and move the

microprocessor around slightly until you feel it settle into the socket.

When the microprocessor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned to the same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher

than the others, the module is not seated correctly.

2. Tighten the cam screw.

3. Replace the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.

Closing the Microprocessor Retaining Clip



4. Close the microprocessor retaining clip.

5. To latch the clip, insert a flat-blade scribe into the latch mechanism and pivot the top of the scribe away from the clip.

touch)

NOTICE: If you received a flash BIOS update floppy disk or CD with the replacement microprocessor, you must update the BIOS after replacing the

microprocessor module.

NOTICE: Proper seating of the microprocessor module does not require force.

NOTICE: A microprocessor module that is not properly seated can result in an intermittent connection and subsequent failures.

NOTICE: Hold the microprocessor down while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor (see

"Microprocessor Cam Screw").

NOTICE: Do not over-or undertighten the screw. Tighten the screw until the screw indicator points to the "closed" or "locked" indicator on the socket.
