はじめに

手順 1 に進む

This is a difficult guide so make sure you are completely prepared before doing it. Note that thorough removal and cleansing of the old heatsink paste and correct application of the new are vital, otherwise you are likely to make matters worse. Always eliminate a clogged fan or cooling vanes as a cause of overheating before replacing the heatsink paste.

Use of an anti-static wrist wrap is highly recommended. Take care not to use too much force especially for the zero insertion force ribbon cables.

翻訳

手順20

Remove the two remaining ribbon cables as described in Step 11.

翻訳

手順21

Remove the display cable with the spudger by pushing each end of the cable out of the connector until it is loose enough to be pulled out by hand.
In a similar fashion as with the display cable use the spudger to remove the two power cables from the motherboard.

翻訳

手順22

Acer Aspire 5742 Heat Sink/Thermal Paste Replacement: 手順 22、 3の画像 3

Remove the 3 Phillips #0 screws from the fan bracket.
Lift the fan up and place it back down above the heatsink.
Do not fully remove the motherboard. As there is hidden cable on the underside that could be damaged.
The heatsink has a strip of adhesive on the underside securing it to the plastic body.
The motherboard can be lifted from the side and and then to the right to free the I/O port from the enclosure. Some force may be required to release the heatsink.

翻訳

手順23

Rotate the motherboard to the right and lay it down so that the copper heatsink is facing up and parallel with the bottom of the monitor.
In this position the last cable to the motherboard can be disconnected using the spudger to push each end out until loose enough to pull the cable completely out.
The motherboard can now be completely removed from the laptop enclosure.
