Introduction |
| [We need a summary here] | | This guide will instruct you on how to safely remove and replace your device’s CPU heat sink. You may need to do this if: | | | * Your device is continually overheating or running hot | | * Your device powers down due to CPU overheat | | Before beginning this repair guide, it is recommended that you use an anti-static work mat and that you ground yourself using an anti-static wrist strap. This helps to protect your device from damage caused by static discharge. If you do not have these materials, you can find an anti-static wrist strap [product|IF145-071|here], and an anti-static work mat [product|IF145-036|here]. To learn how to properly use an anti-static band and an anti-static work mat (recommended), see the guide found [guide|78998|here]. |
