Thermal Pad Installation

Tools

• No tools are required.

• Thermal pad kit (076-0925)

Part Location

Warning: Whenever the logic board is separated from the bottom housing, you must

install new thermal pads to two surfaces on the bottom housing. Failure to apply these

pads whenever the logic board is separated from the bottom housing could cause these

parts to overheat and could damage internal components.

Note: AFTER installing new thermal pads, if you must briefly re-separate the logic board

from the housing, it is OK to retain the same, new pads as long as they are not handled

excessively.
