The laptop on this photo shows 2 memory modules installed (bottom arrow). To remove the memory module, spread the latches on both sides of the
module until it pops up at 30 degrees angle. After that grasp the memory module for its sides and pull from the socket. Do the same with the second stick.
Now remove two screws securing a metal bracket over the CPU heatsink. Remove the bracket and lift up the heatsink from the CPU. Clean old thermal
grease off the CPU and the heatsink.
If you need to replace the CPU, you can do it now. Just unlock the CPU socket by turning the screw into "open" position and carefully lift up the CPU from
the socket on the motherboard. I'll do it in the step 25.
