Install 3.1 KS ROMs, Damn A4K CPU Board !

[xaccrocheur]

Hiya

Do I *have* to remove the damn '040 radiator to gain acces to the nylon clip holder underneath it, in order to remove this CPU board ??

And if yes, how to do it ? I's not made like a regular PC fan holder, and there seem to be no "hole" to put a screwdriver innit and pull it off... I don't want to 'improvise' ;-)  on this beautiful MoBo...

Is there a way to take off those plastic clips "nicely" ?

I knew the boxed Miggys were tightly crowded, but this !

Can someone post info about removal of this board with minimum hair loss ? :nervous:

Thank you !

...?But ...

It won't go, at least using reasonable force...

See, those clips are... Erm, clipping the thing !

I tried to provide ASCII sketch but you cannot use "pre" tags, that sux  :-P

Thing is, it seems I have to PINCH the top of the clips to lift the board up. It makes sense, I've seen this before. Fact is, this board won't move, it's *secured* in place  8-)

Well.

To do so, I have to get rid of the radiator. Have somebody did this ?

thanx

Is this radiator (the big black thing on the CPU) affixed to it or on the board ?

I looks fixed to the CPU by this metal band, so I should really plug this assemblage (radiator+'040) off by lifting it up ?

Wow, that's quite stress-inducing, just to change ROMs 8-)
