subject: Heat sink !

Hello, Roy, I am back in TI ! 

 RJT> That CPU should come out with clips on each end that need to be
 RJT> released.

        The heat sink comes off with a release of the clips, the CPU
  comes off with that side lever. The north side of the clips has a
  recess for a screw-driver blade so it will not slip out and damage a
  trace on the MoBo as one applies pressure to disengage the clips. I
  hope that this is proper instructions now.

 RJT> Once it's out it should be easier to see how the heatsink
 RJT> needs to come off. 

        Can I suggest that the heat sink not be removed. It would be
  easier to remove the fan only by undoing the four small screws that
  hold it on the "finned radiator". Disturbing the dialectric used to
  give a better BTU transfer from the CPU to the radiator, is not a
  good thing unless one has some of that goo to replace on the CPU.


 Sig: No new thinkpad yet.
  The old one still working.
