mc35.jpg

Procedure

Caution: To prevent scratches or other cosmetic damage to the computer housing, use  a soft
cloth as a protective layer when removing and installing the external screws.

1.With the computer upright, remove the two identical 5.5-mm long shoulder screws from the
right side of the computer.
Replacement Caution: When installing these top case screws, do not press on the area over
the slot drive. The slot-drive bezel could be damaged with too much pressure.

mc36.jpg

2.Important: Notice the two screws at the left side of the computer. Although they can be
removed, they exist for cosmetic purposes only and do not require removal. If they are
removed, however, be sure to reinstall the two identical 3-mm long shoulder screws at
the corner near the ports. Do not use longer screws. 

mc38.jpg

3.At the back of the computer, remove the four #0 Phillips screws (two at each side) near the
display hinge--
•  Two 12-mm long shoulder screws that are closest to the hinge
•  Two 8-mm long shoulder screws at the back corners of the computer

mc39.jpg

Turn over the computer, and on the outside of the bottom case, remove the three #0 Phillips
screws: 
•  Two 14-mm long screws near display hinge
•  One 11-mm long at center of bottom case
Replacement Caution: Do not put one of the longer screws in the center screw hole or it
will damage the logic board.

mc40.jpg

Replacement Caution: When installing the three bottom case screws, install them in the
order shown. 

mc41.jpg

5.Notice the long row of #0 Phillips screws at the front edge of the battery bay.

6.Important: Remove only the four screws shown. Remove the 3-mm long identical screws as
follows: 
Starting at the corner closest to the battery connector, skip the frst screw, then remove the
second, fourth, seventh, and ninth screw. 
Tip: To help remember the screw sequence, think of it as “2, 4, 7, 9 loosens the top case every
time."

mc42.jpg

7.In the battery bay, remove the two 6-mm long identical screws that are on both outer sides
of the battery connector. Do not remove the two screws that are closest to the battery
connector.

mc43.jpg

8.In the battery bay, use a long-handled screwdriver to remove the three #00 Phillips screws at

Heatsink

Tools

Preliminary Steps

Before you begin, remove

Part Location

mc119.jpg

Procedure

1.Remove the four identical 8-mm long screws from the heatsink. 

mc120.jpg

Note that the screw at the lower right corner anchors a fexible ground tab for the speaker
cable that runs along the top of the RAM card carriers. Make sure the tab is sandwiched
between the heatsink and the screw when it is reinstalled.

mc121.jpg

2.Starting at the lower bracket of the heatsink, start to tilt it up to loosen it from the logic
board.

mc122.jpg

3.Holding the heatsink by its edges, tilt it up and disconnect the two thermistor connectors
from the logic board.

mc123.jpg

Replacement Caution: When installing the heatsink, make sure its two thermistor cables are
routed as shown to prevent cable damage.

mc124.jpg

Replacement Note: Make sure you install the thermal sponge over the two thermistor
connectors.

mc125.jpg

4.Important: Anytime the heatsink is removed (even if it is to replace another module), check
the thermal grease as described in the following section.

Checking the Thermal Grease

Warning: Whenever the heatsink is separated from the  logic board (even if you are

installing the same heatsink or board), the thermal grease must be checked and possibly

replaced. Failure to do so can cause the computer to overheat and be damaged.

1.With the heatsink removed, check the underside of the heatsink: 

•  If it has a thin sheet of transparent flm covering the square heatsink pads and pre-
applied thermal grease, then you do not need to reapply thermal grease. Do not remove the
thin flm. Skip step 2 and go to step 3 to clean up any excess thermal grease that might have
squeezed out onto the chips. Then go directly to step 8. 
mc126.jpg

•   If you are installing a new heatsink and it is packaged with clear, rigid plastic, remove the
clear plastic from the heatsink plate. Because the heatsink includes pre-applied thermal
grease, skip step 2 and go to step 3. Then go directly to step 8.

mc127.jpg

•   If the thermal grease is directly on the heatsink pads (as shown in step 2), continue with
the remaining steps in this procedure.

2.Caution: This step is required only when the heatsink and logic board are removed to
replace a later part (such as the bottom case) and the same heatsink and logic board
will be re-installed in the computer. 
Use a black stick to remove as much thermal grease as possible from the two chips on the
logic board and the two pads on the heatsink. 

mc128.jpg

3.Use an alcohol wipe to completely clean the residual thermal grease from the two chips. (If
you are replacing the logic board with a new one, skip this step.)
Important: Use extreme care not to damage the logic board components.

mc129.jpg

4.Use an alcohol wipe to completely clean the two pads on the heatsink.

mc130.jpg

5.Caution: The syringe steps for this procedure are required only when the heatsink and
logic board are removed to replace a later part (such as the bottom case) and when no
new heatsink with pre-applied thermal grease will be installed. Refer to the heatsink
conditions in step 1 for details before attempting to replace the thermal grease. 
Note the contents of the syringe of thermal grease. 
Important: One syringe (922-7144) contains 0.3 to 0.35 cubic centimeters (cc) of thermal
grease. That is enough for 0.1 to 0.12 cc of grease per chip for up to three chips. Because this
computer has only two chips, the last 1/3 of thermal grease remains in the syringe. Use one-
third of the syringe contents per chip. Using a felt-tip pen, mark the 1/3 points on the syringe
before applying the frst dab. 

mc131.jpg

6.Using the syringe, put a 0.1 to 0.12 cc dab of thermal grease, in the center, on the mating
surfaces of both chips, as shown below. Apply the grease only up to the line that you marked
on the syringe.
Important: Use one-third of the syringe contents per chip, so in this case, 1/3 of the thermal
grease will be left in the syringe when you are done. Although the amount shown appears
to be plenty of grease, this is the correct amount that has been tested and verifed on the
production line.
Important: Avoid unnecessary contact with new thermal material, as dirt and body oils
reduce the material’s conductivity.

mc132.jpg

mc134.jpg

7.While centering the heatsink pads over the two chips, lower the heatsink onto the logic
board and press on the areas where the screw brackets on the heatsink meet the standofs
on the board. Make sure the heatsink is level on the board before installing the screws.

mc135.jpg

8.Install the heatsink (using the screw sequence shown below), and reassemble and test the
computer.
Note: Make sure the heatsink includes the gray, adhesive sponge strip that sticks to and runs
along the top of the copper pipe. (A new heatsink kit includes the gray strip, ready for
installation.) 

mc136.jpg

9.Replacement Note: If you replaced the heatsink from a kit that includes the thermal sponge,
install the thermal sponge over the two thermistor connectors.

down over the two connectors.

color and appearance of the sponge may vary slightly from what is included in the kit.)
