Clean off the old thermal paste from the processor

Don't use any metal objects or tools for this step, as they could mar the fragile, exposed processor.
Use the flat end of a plastic spudger or the edge of an old credit card to remove any large chunks of solidified thermal paste from the surface of the processor.
Don't use excess force here—you don't want to gouge the surface.
Be careful working near any small soldered components on the motherboard surrounding the chip.
