This procedure assumes that you have removed the heat exchanger/fan. To
remove the processor board and memory module, follow these steps (see
Figure 4-39):
1. Remove the three 5-mm screws securing the processor board to the sys-
tem board.
2. Gently pull the processor board off of connector JP15 on the system board.
Do not rock the board to remove it, because this may damage the
connectors.
3. Lift the SODIMM heat sink off of the memory module.
4. Remove the memory module.
Carefully spread the inner metal tabs of the memory module socket to dis-
engage the module from the socket. The module should pop up slightly.
Then pull the memory module out of the socket.
