Step Type:

Drag to rearrange

Lift the top shield plate off of the motherboard to remove it.

During reassembly, this is a good point to replace any thermal pads on the top of the main board, if necessary. The pads may be stuck to both the top shield plate and the main board.

It's important that the replacement pads are the same thickness as the originals, otherwise the foam around the APU may not seal properly.
