Replacing the Processor Module
CAUTION:
Before you begin the following procedure, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
NOTICE:
To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such
as the back panel) on the computer.
NOTICE:
Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the processor down on the substrate on which the die is mounted while turning the cam screw
to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the processor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the processor when turning the cam screw.
NOTICE:
To help prevent damage to the system board, remove the main battery (see
Before Working Inside Your Computer
) before working inside the
computer.
NOTICE:
To ensure maximum cooling for the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the processor thermal-cooling assembly. The oils in
your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.
NOTICE:
When removing the processor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.
