The CPU is not a common failure component, but may fail due to a failed cooling fan that caused it to overheat.

This guide provides simple steps to replace the CPU on the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T-6682 using minimal tools that can be acquired locally, or through iFixit. Please make sure and follow the prerequisite procedures.

    • Remove the single screw with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Use a plastic opening tool on the upper part of the panel to remove it and access the RAM.

    • The other way to remove the panel is by sliding it away from the laptop. The difficulty of sliding it depends on the condition of your laptop.

    • After the panel has been removed, locate the RAM. It should be on the lower right.

    • There are pins around the RAM that need to be pulled back. After the pins are removed, pull the RAM chip towards you to remove it.

    • Place the laptop in the upright position, the lower front touchpad panel should be easily detatched at this point.

    • Remove the lower front touchpad panel by using an angled tweezers to disconnect the only wired tape connected to the motherboard.

    • Next, disconnect the 4 wired tapes of the keyboard from the motherboard just like we did with the lower front touchpad panel.

    At this step 3 additianal screws have to be removed on the lower left, middle and right side (which are also visible on the image but not marked) before the keyboard cover can be removed!
