Remove all cables, power to laptop. On the bottom of LT, remove & discard rubber feet, destroyed on removal. Remove 12 phillips screws, 00, under the rubbers & gently pry bottom from laptop with a slight forward pressure to clear the tabs holding the bottom at the rear-cover should come off easily after this with access to fans & cooling.

Remove all phillips screws holding thermal unit w/fans, clean 2 processors of old thermal paste with alcohol & instal new thermal unit, paste already applied to new unit from HP. Recable unit, replace screws & close bottom of the LT. Add 4 self-stick rubber feet to the bottom to raise the pc @ 1/4" off a flat surface-this allows better air flow.
