Replacing the microprocessor
CAUTION:
The heat sink and microprocessor might be very hot. Before you open the computer cover, turn off
the computer and wait several minutes until the computer is cool.
Attention:
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the Chapter
1 “Safety information” on page 1.
This section provides instructions on how to replace the microprocessor.
To replace the microprocessor, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the computer. Then, disconnect
all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the computer cover” on page 93.
3. Lay the computer on its side for easier access to the system board.
4. Locate the system board and disconnect all cables connected to the system board.
5. Remove the heat sink and fan assembly. See “Replacing the heat sink and fan assembly” on page 113.
Note:
Place the heat sink and fan assembly on its side so that the thermal grease on the bottom of it
does not get in contact with anything.
