NOTICE: Press and hold the microprocessor down by applying slight pressure to the center of the microprocessor while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to the microprocessor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the microprocessor when turning the cam screw.

2.Remove the keyboard.

3.Remove the EMI shield.

4.Remove the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.

NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the microprocessor module.
