Removal and Replacement Procedures
Maintenance and Service Guide 5–19
Follow these steps to replace a damaged thermal pad:
a. Carefully peel the old thermal pad from the heat
sink area.
b. Use a plastic straight edge tool (such as a credit card) to
remove any thermal pad residue. Glue residue does not
need to be totally removed. The glue used on the thermal
pad has thermal conducting properties and will flow
together with the glue from the new thermal pad.
Ä
CAUTION: Do not use any metal tools when removing thermal pad
residue from the heat sink or processor. Failure to follow this
caution can result in damage to these components and system
failure.
c. Peel the backing from the new thermal pad and position it
on the heat sink in the same location as the old pad.
