Be very careful not to strip the screws. iFixit's Phillips bits are designed to be cross-compatible with JIS-style screws. | | ***Note:*** When you remove the shield plate, you’ll need to replace the thermal compound between the plate and the heatsink. Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge large gaps, the closest replacement is K5 Pro viscous thermal paste. You will, however, need regular replacement thermal paste for the CPU. |
