Removing the Processor
CAUTION:
Before working inside your computer, 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 a
connector on the back of the computer).
NOTICE:
To prevent intermittent contact between the ZIF-socket cam screw and
the processor when removing or replacing the processor, press to apply slight
pressure to the center of the processor while turning the cam screw.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the processor, hold the screwdriver so that it is
perpendicular to the processor when turning the cam screw.
1 Follow the instructions in "Before You Begin" on page 9.
2 Remove the system board (see "Removing the System Board" on page 76).
3 Remove the processor thermal-cooling assembly (see "Processor Thermal-
Cooling Assembly" on page 61).
NOTICE:
When removing the processor, pull it straight up. Be careful not to bend
the pins on the processor.
4 To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver and rotate the
ZIF-socket cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.
The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the processor to the system board. Take
note of the arrow on the ZIF-socket cam screw.
