Introduction

Before starting, make sure all external connections are unplugged and the computer is turned off.

    • Set the laptop face down.

    • Peel back the grey screw guards, along the top and bottom edge of the back case. It may be helpful to use a spudger to get started.

    • Peel slowly to avoid tearing the rubber covers.

    • Peel back the tape from the heatsink.

    • Use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the four captive screws from the heatsink.

    • These screws will stay inside the heatsink while it is removed, simply loosen them until they disengage from the case and the heatsink becomes loose.

You didn't show how to remove the Fan. You removed the Fan and Heat Sink. There's 4 more screws. Finish the job.
