STEP #2: Folding up the keyboard.

Grasp the Apple IIc keyboard assembly and gently lift the front edge (about 1/4”) and then pull it forward Out of the case (about 1/2”) to release the tabs on the back of the keyboard from the slots in the disk drive housing. Do not disconnect the flat cable that connects the keyboard to the computer motherboard. Gently fold the keyboard up and rest it on the computer as shown in Figure 4.

STEP #3: Removing the 65C02 Microprocessor and Installing the Rocketchip.

Important Note for you to read: Both your original microprocessor and RocketChip can be damaged by static electricity, therefore, before touching the 65C02 or removing Rocketchip from the anti—static protective package, it is necessary for you to GROUND YOURSELF by touching the disk drive assembly with your hand to remove any Static electricity. The location of the disk drive is shown in Figure 4

Touch the disk drive housing. The location of the 65C02 is shown in Figure 4. Use an IC chip puller tool or a small flatbLaded screwdriver to carefully remove the 65002 from the socket on the motherboard. To avoid damaging the 65C02, try to work the part straight out of the socket so that pins do not get bent. If pins do get bent, they can be carefully straightened with long nose pliers.
