1.

When opening the bottom housing, rotate the base so the optical drive door is on the 

right. (This position is less stressful on the internal cables when the bottom is open).

2.

Remove the four torx screws.

 

 

 

 

 

These torx screws must be tightened to at least 17 in.-lbs. If you do 

not have a torque driver, you will have to make sure these screws are tightened by hand 

FIRMLY, BUT NOT FORCIBLY. Or, purchase the service tool (076-0899) in order to ensure 

the thermal pipe is firmly mated with the top base. If the bottom housing is not securely 

attached to the base in this fashion, the CPU may overheat and become damaged. For 

more information, refer to “Thermal Paste Application’” in this chapter. Rotate the base so 

that the optical drive door is on the right.
