Carefully release the ZIF socket - push the lever backwards to release it from the hold down tab and lift it up and to the left until it stops (roughly 90 degrees).

Gently lift the CPU straight up and out of the socket. There should be no resistance.

The CPU will only fit into the ZIF socket in one orientation so take care when reinserting it. make sure that pin A1 is located correctly

Take care not to bend the pins on the CPU
