      • Before putting the hinge back into place, note the following:

      • The black ribbon cable coming out of the left side of the hinge needs to be routed behind the lower screw post. Otherwise, it will likely tear. You may need to use tweezers to do this while you put the hinge in place.

      • There's a long ribbon cable that needs to run in front of the hinge. Make sure it doesn't get stuck under the hinge, or it may get damaged.
