This step can be kind of tricky. Using a PH00 screwdriver, remove the eight indicated screws. The screws in the four corners are 5mm while the four screws on the left and right sides are 3mm.

It doesn’t matter which order you unscrew them when removing the heat sink.

If you’re removing one of the top or bottom (red) ones for that side last, make sure to use a pair of tweezers to hold the other end so that the bracket doesn’t drop into the laptop.
