7. Once the logic board cables are disconnected,
you should have easy access to the G3 pro-
cessor card (Figure 13) on the logic board.
Remove Heatsink
1. Locate the processor heatsink on the logic
board (Figure 14). Place a small flat blade
screwdriver between the latch and the ZIF
socket (Figure 14). If your computer is under
warranty, take caution not to accidentally break
the seal located on a jumper next to the ZIF
socket. Press down on the top of the latch with
your finger while you press the screwdriver
against the side of the latch until you see the
latch unhook from the ZIF socket tab. Unhook
the latch on the other side of the heatsink and
remove the latch.
2. Once the heatsink is unlatched, gently lift it
away from the processor and set it aside
(Figure 15), but not on the logic board. There
is no need to disconnect the wire from the
heatsink.
Remove Processor Card
To unlatch the ZIF socket lever (Figure 16), push the
lever down and then out to clear the side tab. Once
the level is clear of the side tab, rotate the lever up
90˚. Gently lift the existing processor card up and
out of the ZIF socket.
