Disassembly I have removed all screws from the bottom of the machine, but it apears to still be held together near the hinge line. can you help me?

  • stuz0r May 16, 2008

    I have a gateway 7510GX I am trying to take it apart to give it a good cleaning. I know how to take apart laptops but this one is .....different. I have it basically apart except the screen is somehow staying on. All screws have been removed. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it is staying together...I can see 4 screw holes that are right under the monitor lid, but it is impossible to get to those unless the screen is taken off, which I can't figure out how to do...(can't see any screws that are keeping it attached..) Could someone show me where the secret button is? :)

    Thanks!

    Yes, i have the same problem. trying to take the whole thing apart to clean it out since you can't get to the fans or heatsinks any other way. the chassis is held together at one end by 4 screws that are right under where the monitor hinges. the monitor needs to come off but there does not seem to be any way to do this. my screen is actually cracked so i am thinking of just forcing it off since i don't really care if it breaks, but this is not really much of a solution. this laptop SUCKS for taking it apart. i never thought of looking at how easily a laptop comes apart as a plus for why i should purchase it, but now i will never buy one that is this difficult. it seems they made it so you just can't take it apart without breaking it. i would love if someone could answer how to do this.

You didn't explain why you are taking it apart, but the two main reasons are Hard Disk drive Replacement
& memory (RAM) Replacement
The chassis of the computer is built sort of like the frame of a car
so I will detail how to do the two operations below

Hard Disk drive for 7510GX Laptop:

  1. Back up any data you want to transfer to the new hard drive.
  2. Before beginning, review electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
  3. Shut down the computer, and then disconnect the power adapter.
  4. Disconnect the modem and network cables.
  5. Turn the computer over, and then remove the battery.

    2. Slide the battery release latch.
    3. Lift the battery out of the bay.

  6. Remove the hard drive kit screw.

  7. Slide the hard drive kit out if the computer.

  8. If your new hard drive already includes the hard drive kit bracket, go to step 13. – OR –

Adding or Replacing Memory Modules

  1. Shut down the computer, and then disconnect the power adapter and modem and network cables.
  2. Turn the computer over, and then remove the battery.
  3. Loosen the memory bay cover screw.

  4. Remove the memory bay covedisassembly - 350191565.jpgg src="/uploads/images/350191565.jpg" alt="350191565.jpg" class="h_mi" />

I have a Simpson Ezy Loader. I need to replace the door hinge which I have purchased but I am unable to get the broken door hinge out of the door as the door wont come apart.

may i ask why are you replacing the hinge? the door is in two halves and held together by a few large screws, once you remove the screws you will need to put a flat blade screw driver in between the two halves of the door and pry it open, theres a heap of tiny clips that hold the two pieces together, it will be quite hard and may make a loud crack when you pop it open, dont worry you wont break anything.

Taking apart a NEFF oven door

The inner door glass is held on by two clips at the bottom (hinge side) and two slides near the handle side. Remove the door from the oven and lie it the worktop flat with the hinges uppermost. Near the hinges you will see the glass is angles leaving a triangle of metal frame either side near the hinges.Rest the outside of your hand on the metal for purchase and then pull on the glass along the bottom edge (reasonable tug required) this will disengage the bottom clips and then slide the glass down about an inch to remove completely.

HOW TO CLEAN THE GLASS DOORS

Hello larryjkelly - This may or may not be specifically for you model, however below are generic instructions that I found on how to take your oven door apart to remove any stains that may be caught down in the door vents.

Tools needed: good Phillips head screwdriver or small quad bit driver.



A. Open Door remove 2 screws and washers on door lining at door hinge area.

B. With door in broil stop position lift door assembly off hinges.

C. Lay door on table, position so that handle hangs freely over edge of table

D. Remove 2 screws and washers that secure handle to lining assembly.

E. Remove 8 screws that attach textured steel door wrapper trim to lining assembly 3 at top, 3 at bottom, 1 on each side.

F. Lift door lining up and out of wrapper trim assembly.

G. Lay lining assembly on table with wool shield/inner part of lining facing up.

H. Remove 2 glass clamps via 2 screws per clamp. These clamps attach innermost clear glass to wool shield.

I. Lift out center clear glass from wool shield, this glass just lies onto the wool shield and is held in place by the glass/ clamps in item H.

J. Clean each glass with appropriate cleaner, Windex, bon ami, fantastic, etc.

K. One glass that remains in door lining assembly can at this time be cleaned without further disassembly the lining assembly.

L. Reassemble in reverse order.

I do hope this proves to be helpful.

Remove top

Hello- You will actually need to remove the front in order to access the 2 screws holding down the top. Unplug the machine before doing any disassembly. To remove the front panel there are 2 screws located near the bottom of the panel on each side. They are hidden by the bevel on the panel and located under where the panel angels in about 4" from the bottom. Look under that bevel and you will see the screws. Remove these and pull the bottom of the front panel towards you and up, the panel will hinge from the top and once you get the bottom up high enough it will drop free of the top. To hinge loosen the top there are 2 bolts located under the top where the side of the cabinets meet the front of the top panel. Once these are removed the top hinges up and back. There is a hose, tube, that comes from the bleach dispenser that you need to pull off from the bottom of the dispenser, there is usual no clamp on this at the top (you will see it on the front right side when you pull the front off). Hope this helps, best regards.

Replace boot gasket

Hello, Remove the door hinges and plastic covers on the unused hinge screw holes on the opposite side of the door opening (door is reversible, so there are places to mount hinges left and right). Front panel will now snap out at top and lift off lower spring clips. One screw on each side will now release top panel and it will hinge up. Prop up with broom handle or something. Now you can get at everything. Rubber gasket is held onto drum with a cable loop and very strong spring. It rolls off the lip easily to disassemble but is VERY difficult to get back on without special tools or at least two people. Door side of rubber gasket is easy in comparison with rubber tabs inserted into slots and working the gasket into a groove. Hose clamp at bottom of rubber gasket to connect drain hose.

Thanks

Same Problem with dirty glass 1600n

You will have to remove the back and sides first I'm afraid. But do not fear, this Dell is held together with screws unlike HP that snaps together forever. All you need is some guts and a little experience with computer sockets like inside laptops if you need to do complete disassembly. The tricky part was figuring out that the control panel can be pried up and hinges up exposing the three hidden screws that hold down the glass holder cover.
