Hook 2,940 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 @EskeRahn suggest this thread be moved to the "How-To" category rather than letting it get lost in General Discussion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 HINT: Clicking the images does nothing, BUT if you right click and select to open in a new tab, you get the images in a much higher resolution. Especially interesting with the (currently) last one where the battery and other stuff are visible. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,421 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just being curious. What is behind these two stickers+centre hole? From the positions I would guess access for the lower screws without dismounting the hinge, when in slide open, with a long thin screwdriver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gelraen.ua 33 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 No, they don't align with any of the screws in either position. My guess - leftovers from earlier revisions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I look at the image just above the step 3 header, they look VERY aligned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then, yeah, it's probably for easier access to those screws, although it seems a bit futile - removing the stickers that way would be hard, especially the middle one. But might've been handy on dev prototypes. Edited April 25, 2020 by gelraen.ua Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't you just push away the stickers from the back? And the middle hole does not seem to have a sticker on mine (either). My guess would be that their repair plan is to replace the stickers after service, so they could be more 'brutal' removing them, than we would prefer to be. I definitely would try that before messing with the hinge, if/when I need to open one.... 😇 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given what an aggravation it is to get the hinge detached, I'd be happy to lose a sticker or two if it came to that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3zet 100 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Use iSesamo for opening next time, its much better in skilled hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
