ABSTRACT:
A portable information handling system such as a laptop computer includes a chassis having a pivotally mounted top. The chassis includes a keyboard and the top includes a display panel. The top and chassis are connected by a hinge. A hinge cap is releasably attached directly to the hinge and the hinge is mounted on the chassis. A loose fit of the hinge cap on the hinge permits the hinge cap to float relative to the hinge. Each of the hinge cap and a chassis cover plate include a mating, tapered surface so that when the hinge cap seats in the cover plate, the location of the hinge cap relative to the chassis cover plate is determined by the mating engagement.
