Heat sink with fan To remove the heat sink with fan, use these procedures. IMPORTANT: The bond between the heat sink and the processor can be very tight. If the computer will turn on, before removing the heat sink, turn on the computer until it warms the heat sink. Warming the heat sink loosens the bond between the heat sink and the processor, thereby making it easier to separate them. Do not pull the processor out of the socket when you lift the heat sink, especially if you cannot warm the heat sink before removal. Inadvertently removing the processor can damage the pins. Before removing the heat sink with fan, follow these steps: 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (see Preparation for disassembly on page 17). 2.
