How to remove cpu/heatsink from Mega PC 651?

I'm looking for detailed instructions on how to remove the cpu/heatsink from a MSI Mega PC 651. So far the manual has been useless and the Quick install guide isn't even about the MEGA PC series. Can anyone supply detailed step-by-step instructions on how to remove the cpu/heatsink safely?
Lewis

Hi Lewis,
I presume you are refering to this guide?
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/manual/note/quick_installation.pdf
I don't think there are any better instructions, other than what you might get with the CPU. Here's some breif comments that may or may not help though:
Get an anti static strap and attach it to earth, (ie I leave my main PC plugged in and attach to it's chassis, when working on another PC)
Your CPU may be attached to the heatsink with thermal paste, if it is be very careful
On my 865 the CPU heatsink is screwed to the motherboard, it may also be held on with levers. Disconnect it as appropriate
Once the heatsink is loose gently remove it, you may need to lift one side first or it may lift the whole CPU out
Once the heatsink is out lift the CPU lever, the CPU will easily lift out
you may wish to remove the old thermal paste from the CPU and heatsink, I use ArctiClean 1+2 check your CPU supplier for options
put the CPU straight into an antistatic bag
Only when you are finished playing with your PC insides should you take off the antistatic strap
If you are still unhappy with these instructions try checking out the Intel or AMD website for help
Hope this helps
cheers
Rich

    Hi
    In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
    You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

  • How to remove sd card from iMac

    hi how to remove sd card from imac ,thanks

    If your machine is in warranty, be careful not to do anything more that might damage it when removing it from the optical drive.  You might even be able to convince an authorized service technician to carefully remove it under warranty from the optical drive.  It is a design issue that lets people accidentally insert the SD card in the optical drive.   Of course if that's the only copy of your information on the SD card, be sure to let them know that, so they are extra careful not to damage it when removing it.

    The only way to fix this is for your friend to delete all the content, on his/her phone, obtained using your ID. Fact is, that's called stealing. There is no other fix.

  • How to remove a node from nlb at runtime?

    hello,
    i need to temporally exclude a node from an nlb.
    May happen that a server is up and working but the web application i'm balancing is out of sinch with the same application in the others nodes.
    Eg. some static variables are not the same of the same static variables of other nodes, because of a timeout, a write error and so on but the server is still working.
    in this case i need to stop the server from nlb because the information in the web application is not in sinch with other nodes.
    I need to prevent users from being serverd from this out to date server, untill it will became updated, but i need to do this programmatically
    how can i do it?

    I think something like

    will work.

  • How to remove the "0" from the sum cell when the other cells are empty?

    Hello!
    When I use the formula to sum the values from a few cells, there is a zero in the sum cell when the other cells are empty.
    My question concerns how to remove the 0 from the sum cell when the cells that will be summed are empty.
    Thank you!
    /Johan Strömbeck

    Hi,
    Please try the Mr. Laurence's suggestion first. Then, we may try the other workarounds.
    1) Go to Excel option> Advanced>Display Option for this worksheet> Uncheck Show a zero in cells that have zero value
    2) Go to Conditional Formatting>New Rule>Format only cells that contain> Value equal to 0> Format the color with white
    Hope it's helpful.

  • How to remove a package from package structure?

    Hello profs,
    i have a problem. I add a package 'A' to another package 'B' in the package builder.
    Now i don't know how to remove package 'A' from the list of package 'B'.
    I have not found in the docu of package builder how to remove a package from the included list.
    Has somebody an idea how to do it?
    Thanks a lot.

    I found out that the relation between the packages saved in table TDEVC.
    Field PARENTCL contains the surrounding package 'B' of the package 'A' field DEVCLASS.
    At the moment the only way to remove the package is to modify the table.
    But i look for another possibility for this issue.
    Best regards

  • How to remove a meter from an installation after move-out

    Hi,
    Could anyone please tell me how to remove a meter from an installation after move-out and if the installation was blocked before move-out.
    I was trying to remove the meter from an installation which was blocked before move-out. And if i remove the blocking after move-out, it is still giving me this message that the installation is blocked.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mahavir

    Dear Birendra,
    You can NEVER remove a Device (for Billing Related or FULL removal), since you need to save a Removal read while doing the removal. Hence, you can not create a MR ( Reason 01/02/03/06/16/17/21/22), without a Active contract. This is a Basic Metering Rule.
    You will have to do the removal on the same day of the Move out.
    Any additional questions?
    KR,
    AAL!

  • How to remove a member from cluster while CQ (cq5.5) instances are running?

    Hello,
    I have a query:
    how to remove a member from cluster while CQ instances are running? And is there any particular log to check that it got removed?
    Thanks in advance..

    I might be wrong. AFAIK you do not have the option to remove without shutting down and modfying cluster.properties.
    However this usecase would be minimal because before going into production you would have verified your architecture.
