Hardware requirements

Software requirements

Disassembly

- -

- Remove those screws and remove the HDD:
- -

- -

- Lift off the palm rest:
- -

- -

- Lift up the keyboard, pull it back a bit, flip it over like that and then disconnect it from the board:
- -

- -

- Gently wedge both sides loose:
- -

- -

- Remove that cable from the position:
- -

- -

- Remove the bezel (sorry forgot to take pics). -

- -

- On the CPU (and there is another chip south-east to it, sorry forgot to take pic) - clean off the old thermal paste (with the alcohol) and apply new (Artic Silver 5 is good, others are good too) - you should also clean the heatsink the same way
- -

- -

- This is also an opportunity to change the CPU to another one. For example if you had a Core Duo T2400, you can upgrade it to a better processor - (higher speed, 64-bit support). A Core 2 Duo T7600 was installed here. -

- -

- Attach the heatsink and install the screws (also, make sure to install the AC jack as highlighted):
- -

- -

- Reinstall that upper bezel:

+ Using this guide you can also change/upgrade the CPU. +

+ Place keyboard and (sorry, forgot to take pics) reinstall the palmrest and insert screws on the underside:

+ +

+ It lives!

+ Always stress test ('stress -c 2' and xsensors. below 90C is ok) when replacing cpu paste/heatsink:
