Required Equipment
•
Small Phillips screwdriver.
•
Small flat-blade screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
Caution
Be careful not to touch the upper surface of the CPU module. Handle it only by its edges, or you
could damage it.
1. Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
2. Remove these additional assemblies:
•
Keyboard cover (page 2-9).
•
Keyboard (page 2-11).
•
Display assembly (page 2-17).
•
Top case (page 2-19).
•
Hinge saddle set (page 2-22).
•
Heatsink assembly (page 2-27).
3. To release the CPU module from the motherboard, carefully insert the tip of the flat-blade
screwdriver in the CPU module lock mechanism, and turn the screwdriver a few degrees
counterclockwise until the mechanism clicks into its OPEN position. (The CPU socket moves
slightly to the left when this happens.)
4. Grasp the CPU module by its edges, and carefully lift it straight up and off of its socket.
