To attach the new hinge, locate the teeth above the RMI connector on the assembly. Also locate the notches inside the replacement hinge.
Place the hinge over top of the teeth so they mate up with the notches inside of the replacement hinge.
Lower the hinge down. The hinge should rest in place. Make sure it is not snagging or caught on any components inside of the assembly.

The arm will turn for a half turn then stop. Apply pressure while turning counter-clockwise to break loose. Continue to loosen until the arm can be removed.
Locate the 3 prongs on the replacement arm. Make sure they are matched correctly with the corresponding holes on the monitor.
