Reassembly Notes
Caution
Each time you remove the heatsink from the notebook, you must also replace the heatsink's
thermal pad to maintain optimum heat transfer. Use a sharp knife or scraper to carefully remove
the old thermal pad from the heatsink, then attach the new thermal pad.
• Replace the small fan first and then connect it to the motherboard. Note that the small fan gets
secured to the bottom case when replacing the top case.
• Install the heatsink screws in this order:
1. Install all four screws lightly.
2. Fully tighten the screws in the order marked on the heatsink.
