No. That's what I am saying. You are never supposed to remove those screws. Follow the metal conductive arm that goes from the heatsink out to the left then it attaches to another "heatsink" looking thing. That is called the thermal transfer plate. The screw you want to remove is basically (imagine the Keyboard installed) under where the Left Apple Key would be. You remove that screw and then pull the processor, heatsink, and plate out as a SINGLE unit. If you remove the 2 screws you have to get a new Thermal Transfer pad from Apple (good Luck) or take it in to a service provider. Your machine will overheat and fry the processor very quickly is you don't adhere to this protocol. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
