Removing and Replacing Parts: Dell Inspiron 4100

To prevent the latch assembly from coming loose, apply pressure to the latch and spring while 

removing the latch button. If the latch assembly does come loose from the case:

a.  Slide the spring onto the slider on the latch, and reinstall the latch into the holding 

features on the inside of the bottom case. 

b.  Ensure that the slider is inserted into the hole, that the side of the latch with the two 

bumps is facing the back of the case, and that the side with the wear rib is facing the 

front of the case. 

The latch will not function properly if the slider is oriented 

incorrectly.
