May need to expand the “apply heat paste to center” section. Need to remove old paste first, etc. etc. A good bird’s eye view intro, though

Seemed like I was going to rip the motherboard up where the usb ports are by the audio connector, why isn’t the %#*@ thing screwed down? Lol If I push down by the audio connector like you mention and pull it up from the other side will ot be fine, felt and looked like I might snap the board.
