Abstract
A mobile information handling system comprising a chassis having a processor, a memory, and a wireless interface with a display screen operatively coupled to the chassis and the chassis having a spring, such as shape memory foam pads, internally mounted thereon and compressed between the chassis and the display screen and a mechanical connector fittingly engaging an access side of the chassis with the display screen, wherein the mechanical connector maintains pressure on the spring by holding the display screen in a closed position and an access seam at the edge of the display screen is operable to open due to a counter force exerted by the spring when the mechanical connector is disengaged from the display screen.

A mobile information handling system comprising:
- a chassis having a processor and a memory;
- a display screen operatively coupled to the chassis;
- the chassis having a compressive force foam pad internally mounted thereon and compressed between the chassis and the display screen;
- an attachment screw inserted through an access side of the chassis and fittingly attached to a screw receiving nub operatively coupled to the display screen, wherein the attachment screw maintains pressure from the display screen on the compression force foam pad;
- and
- an access seam at the edge of the display screen operable to open due to a counter force exerted by the compression force foam pad when the attachment screw is removed from the screw receiving nub.
