eMac ATI Graphics /USB 2.0/2005  Troubleshooting - 

 

 General Information

 

The microprocessor uses a heatsink/thermal pipe to transfer heat away. Whenever the heatsink is removed, 

the bottom side of the heatsink and the top of the microprocessor must be cleaned and thermal paste must 

be applied. If the mating surfaces are not cleaned and thermal paste is not applied, the CPU may overheat 

and become damaged.

 

This procedure requires the following tools:

• Plastic stylus or nylon probe tool (922-5065) to remove the old thermal paste

• Thermal paste (922-4757), each tube contains 4-5 applications

 

1.

Thoroughly clean the thermal film from the heatsink surface with a plastic stylus or the nylon probe tool. 

Do not use an abrasive material or liquid cleaner. 

 

 Be extremely careful not to bend the fins 

on the heatsink.
