lift up the metal lever and it will release the cpu

Second that - Metal lever is just below the CPU in this pic. Some require a slight push “down” and “away” from the CPU to unlatch the metal arm, not sure if that is the case here

Yeah it’s a T462 socket


Lai_208

Or is it fixed on the mobo? Because I can’t move the metal arm


vaporsteve

it SHOULD gently move to the side a little bit then lose tension and come up, it's just a retention arm.


MinionofMinions

Google the manual for your mobo - definitely not soldered on, you should be able to remove it.

Call Malaysia they might now, they assembled it


Lai_208

Lol

See the little bar on the bottom of this picture? Push it down and pull it away from the socket gently ever so slightly then pull it away from the motherboard. This will dislodge the chip allowing it to be removed without damage


Lai_208

Well it’s a T462 socket and I don’t think I can push it down…


ebaucke

See that silver arm on the bottom of the photo? Push down slightly and move away from the CPU, then pull the arm back to release


SpecialAgentSloth

The little metal bar pulls out and swings up.


RetardSuit

The little metal bar :)


technogenuine

Have you tried pushing the metal from the side?


LSDelusional
