I recently broke the latch on my 5660. Don't know how or when but bottom line was that it was broken. I just hated looking at it not fully closed. So I decided to drop Sager tech support a quick email to see if by any chance they could send me a new one and I would do the switch myself. The next morning I had an email from tech support asking for my mailing address, 2 days later I had my replacement latch. Here are some pics from the replacement that I performed. The entire job took about 5 minutes.
Here's the broken latch:
Here the replacement in a plastic baggie:
First thing I had to do is remove the rubber cover from the screen and then the 6 screws:
After the screws were removed all I had to do is firmly run my finger nail in the grove and the frame easily popped off:
I did not have to fully remove the entire plastics cover, there was enough room to get my fingers in there and pull out the broken latch:
The good, the bad and the ugly:
Looks as good as new:
It closes, it closes
I'd like to thank Allen Zhang at Sager Tech Support for the prompt response.....I am one satisfied customer!!!
