Removing the Microprocessor Module

CAUTION: Before performing the following procedures, read the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.

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.

1.Follow the instructions in Before Working Inside Your Computer.

2.Turn over the computer.

3.Remove the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. See Removing 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.

4.To loosen the ZIF socket, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver and rotate the ZIF-socket cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.

The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the microprocessor to the system board. Take note of the arrow on the ZIF-socket cam screw.
