Replacing the CPU

When you disassemble the CPU

The heat sink and CPU have been plastered together with heat transfer

material. Using excessive force to disassemble these parts may result in

damage to the CPU.

Operate the computer for a sufficient period of time so that the heat created

softens the adhesive material, before disassembling the units.

1. Open the Computer Cover. (Refer to instructions on disassembling computer)

2. Unplug the Cooling Fan Power Cable.

3. Flip the Cooling Fan Outward while pushing on the clips to remove the unit.

4. Detach the Cooling Fan and Heat Sink. (Refer to above illustration)

5. Pull the socket lever on the side of the socket straight up(90 ), while pushing it

slightly left, to remove the CPU.
