I don't see the need for him to do that.

By the way, what is the main reason you want to remove the heatsink?

for fun

i want to take out the heatsink, and clean since i spot some dust inside, and if possible polish it to become mirror shine

If it is just for fun, I think you better off not to venture further or it can quickly turn from fun to tears in one fell swoop. (Unless it is your experimental notebook).

follow the basic rules and you will be fine, at least all the time tongue.gif

1. no water
2. no electrostatic
4. observe the inside surrounding
3. be gentle

sometime too gentle then cant do anything, at first i wanna use more force to pull it out, but then i see there is a connector there, so sayang sayang slowly put it back tongue.gif

i've heard some people said also, but i think is because the distance between the compressed air and the fan is too close, if i'm not wrong, should be at least 3-5cm of distance.

Yeah, you are right. But if you already know what to do and where to apply more force and where no to, then you don't have to worry about the need to handle it too gentle, right? But I guess for this particular notebook you don't know yet.
