- Remove those screws:

-

- Push the keyboard forward (carefully):
- -

-

- Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:
- -

-

- Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:
- -

-

- You should now have this:
- -

-

- Disconnect the wifi antenna cables, the modem cable and the speaker:
- -

-

- Unroute the cables along their path, carefully lifting the tape that holds them in place. Then, disconnect the modem - cable (other end) and power connection and unroute all the cables so that they dangle by the monitor hinge on the right-hand - side:
- -

-

- Disconnect the monitor from the motherboard, and unroute the grey antenna cable, carefully lifting the tape - that holds it into place:
- -

-

- Carefully lift the remaining tape and unroute the left antenna cable so that it is loose:
- -

-

- Remove those screws:
- -

-

- Remove those screws:
- -

-

- Carefully remove the plate, like so:
- -

-

- Remove the SATA connector:
- -

-

- Now remove the motherboard (gently) and cast the lcd/chassis aside:
- -

-

- Look at that black tape above the heatsink, remove it:
- -

-

- Now you have removed it:
- -

- -

- Disconnect the fan and remove all the screws, heatsink will easily come off:
- -

- -

- Remove the old paste with a cloth (from the CPU and heatsink) and then clean both of them with the alcohol (to remove remaining residue of the paste). - Apply a pea-sized amount of paste to the both chipsets that the heatsink covered and spread it evenly (uniformally). - Finally reinstall the heatsink, reversing previous steps. -

- -

- stress -c 2 command can be used to push the CPU to 100%, and xsensors (or watch sensors command) can be used to monitor heat. - Below 90C is ok. -
