Top Cover Palmrest Assembly
The hinge screws are anchored into brass threaded inserts that are heat-staked into the plastic of the top cover. Once the plastic fractures or the inserts pull out, the structural integrity is lost and the entire palmrest assembly must be replaced as the plastic bosses are non-serviceable. This part provides the new plastic matrix and threaded receivers for the hinge mounting.

Display Hinge Kit (Left & Right)
High rotational resistance in the original hinges is the catalyst for the housing failure. Replacing the hinges ensures that the torque required to open the laptop remains within the safety tolerances of the new plastic housing. Failure to replace the hinges usually results in the new palmrest stripping again within 6-12 months.
