Disassembly

+

+ 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:
+ +

+

+ Remove those screws:
+ +

+

+ Remove those screws:

+ +

+ +

+ Remove the old paste with a cloth (from the CPU and heatsink) and then clean both of them with the alcholeel (to remove remaining residue. typo is intentional). + 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. +
