I bought a new processor today and i opened my PC but i can't seem to get the bit off that covers the processor. Can anyone help? Its a Compaq Evo D510 UDST ultra slim.

Hi Juke,

The heatsink compound dries out and sticks the heatsink to the Processor like glue. If you keep pulling on it the processor will come out of the locked socket with it and pins usually get bent. Unlatch the Heatsink/fan and twist it back and forth gently. It wont move far but, will break the bond between the heatsink and processor. It should then lift off easily. Mich's infor should help you with the rest of the job.

Good Luck, Jim

 

Got it, thanks.
