Editing Psion Series 5mx Hinge Repair (section)

== Verifying the repair ==

# '''Open and close the machine twenty times.''' The lid should snap open and snap shut crisply, and the keyboard should slide fully forward and fully back each time.
# '''Check the keyboard sits flush''' when closed. If it stands proud, a hinge wire is not seated.
# '''Press the touchscreen firmly with the machine open on a desk.''' It should not tip — that bracing is the whole purpose of the mechanism.
# '''Check the case switch.''' There is a raised lump under the middle of the keyboard that presses a microswitch when the machine is closed; confirm the machine sleeps when shut and wakes when opened.<ref name="epocfaq">''The EPOC FAQ(ish)'', Series 5/5mx page, archived at the Internet Archive.

# '''Inspect the hooks again after a week of use.''' If a printed hook is going to fail it will show early.
