Removing/Replacing the CPU
The procedure for removing the CPU is as follows:
1.
Turn off the computer. Follow all disassembly procedures mentioned from the
start of this section.
2.
The CPU is inserted right at the center of the Motherboard using a socket. The
Motherboard was designed for allowing the heat generated by the CPU to be re-
leased properly from the system. A ventilation duct is near at the back of the CPU
to release heat. There is also a hole made on the Motherboard right at the bottom
of the CPU to release heat easily out of the notebook.
3.
To remove the CPU, you must use a flat-blade screwdriver and slowly lift the
CPU at every side little by little. Also do not pull out the CPU heat sink as it is se-
cured to the CPU. Remove the CPU together with the heat sink.
4.
To replace the CPU, identifying the pin 1 of the socket and plug the CPU in.
Make sure the CPU pins are straight before inserting it. Broken or damage pins on
the CPU may totally damage the CPU.
