1) First off, this is not for a beginner and this will void your warranty so think twicebefore doing this. Mark or write a diagram on a blank piece of paper were everyscrew goes so you do not have any problems putting back the laptop back

together.

2) First Step is to remove the plastic strip on top of keyboard by prying on gently soyou do not damage or break it!!.



3) Remove the 4 marked screws , then you can lift the keyboard slightly to getaccess to the keyboard ribbon cable that you will need to disconnect to remove thekeyboard.



4) Disconnect the ribbon cable marked #2, then gently pry off the speaker cover thatalso has the power and media keys, it clips on and there are no screws holding it.



5) After removing the speaker cover, disconnect all the marked connectors and thescrews marked by #6 and #7, note that in the area marked 1 there are 2 connectorsand in the area marked 3 there are 3 connectors.



6) Remove the screws marked by #1 and #2, the screw marked #3 is to allow you toremove the HD DVD drive so remove that as well and remove the DVD drive.



7) Remove every screw marked here and note the different sizes and types of screwsso you put back the proper screws in the proper spot!!. Also here were you see the#6 next to this there is a spot that allows you to insert a flat head screw driver to

gently pry off the DVD drive, that is if you removed the 2.5mm x 8 screw in theprevious step.



8) Here is the bottom were you remove every marked screw except #13 that is asmall cover that needs to be removed so it allows you to access the screw underthe DVD driver which I will show you on the next picture. A note, I circled the

small pba were #9 is the pba also needs to be removed and it has 2 screws and onesmall connector that needs to be removed so the motherboard comes off withoutany problems.



9) This is the close up of the cover #1 and screw #2 that sits under the DVD drivewhich needs to come off.



10) If you did the previous steps then the palm rest cover should cone off very easy toshow you this picture, here you remove the screws marked #1,#2, #3, and #9 andall the marked connectors. Once that is done the motherboard should come off if

you wiggle it gently from side to side so you don’t break it so be very, verycareful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.



11) Here is the bottom of the motherboard, #1 is your CPU, #2 is you NB chip, #3 isthe video card with the heat sink attached. To remove the cpu and nb chip heatsink remove the screws marked #4 through #8 replace the cpu with your faster

cpu clean everything with 99% rubbing alcohol put a thin layer of arctic silver onthe cpu and nb chips and re assemble everything.



12) Well just for fun I took off the video card and here it is, well once you upgradeyour cpu just reverse the process and again be very careful to put all the screwsand connectors back and in the proper places and have fun!!!!!.



13) Here is the empty bottom of the laptop without the motherbard!!!!.
