Removing a microprocessor and heat sink

Use this information to remove a microprocessor and heat sink.
Attention:
• Be extremely careful, the pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may require replacing
the system board.
• Do not allow the thermal grease on the microprocessor and heat sink to come in contact with anything.
• Removing the heat sink from the microprocessor destroys the even distribution of the thermal grease and
requires replacing the thermal grease.
• Do not touch the microprocessor contacts; handle the microprocessor by the edges only. Contaminants
on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between
the contacts and the socket.
