Flip the Chromebook onto its back, where there are eleven screws.
-
There are two variations of screws on the back panel:
-
Six 8.7mm screws.
-
Five 6.4mm screws.
-
Using your screwdriver with the J00 Phillips Head tip, remove the screws by turning them counter clockwise.
-
-
-
Once the screws are removed, flip the Chromebook back over.
-
Gently remove the keyboard by starting to lift up on one corner with a plastic opening tool.
-
Follow around the brim of the keyboard until it pops off.
-
-
-
Once you remove the keyboard, it will be connected to the CPU with two tabbed connections.
-
Release the connections from the tabs gently by flipping the white flaps up until disconnected.
-
You can now pull the ribbons out from the board and remove the keyboard.
-
-
-
-
Once the keyboard is removed, the battery is located on the bottom portion of the shell.
-
The battery is held in with six 6.5mm screws on opposing sides.
-
-
-
The battery is now held in with a tabbed connection to the CPU on the left side of the board. On the tabbed connection, there is a silver plate.
-
Gently push on the silver plate towards the screen until the plastic connection is free.
-
The tabbed connection should now slide out backwards.
-
-
-
At this point, using the plastic removal tool, lift the battery out of the shell.
-
-
-
The metal plate is held in by two 3.4mm Phillip head screws.
-
Remove them by turning the screws counter clockwise.
-
Lift the plate off using a plastic opening tool or by hand.
-
-
-
The existing thermal paste should now be exposed.
-
Using a paper towel, gently wipe off the existing thermal paste from both the CPU and the metal cover.
-
-
-
Once you remove the residue, apply a small amount of thermal paste in one area on the CPU.
-
Place metal plate back on. This will naturally spread the thermal paste across the CPU.
-
The thermal paste is now replaced.
