-
-
Place the NUC upside down and select a PH2 Phillips screw driver bit
-
-
-
Start by using a Phillips head #2 screw driver to remove the lower screws on the lower case door.
-
These screws are held in with retainers, so they won't fall out when you flip the lid.
-
-
-
Lift the door, and keep an eye on the cables that connect to the NUC's motherboard. These cables are the power and data cables for the 2.5" hard drive bay.
-
Carefully unplug the cables from the motherboard, and set the bracket aside.
-
In the last photo, the slot for a blade SSD is marked with a red arrow. This is where you would install the blade SSD, and use a screw to hold it in place.
-
-
-
Change the screw driver bit to the PH1 one.
-
Unscrew the V-NAND SSD and carefully slide it out of its connector.
-
-
-
-
Remove the WiFi and Bluetooth antenna cables (be extremely careful when doing this otherwise you risk to rip the base contact terminal off the PCB)
-
Remove the stereo mic cable from the motherboard connector.
-
Pay attetion to the WiFi cable hidden under a black piece of tape
-
-
-
Not all are necessary only the two depicted.
-
-
-
Use a pry tool to lift the motherboard from the casing
-
Marked with red circles the dust signs evident on first sight
-
-
-
Remove the 3 screws fixing the CPU fan
-
Remove the fan power connect from the motherboard
-
-
-
You will need to use compressed air, a small vacuum cleaner or something similar to blast off all the stucked dust.
-
-
-
I'm using a compressed air can (optional)
-
-
-
This step is probably not necessary, but for the sake of completeness here it is.
-
Remove the screws holding the CPU cooler following the numbers on them.
-
-
-
Use isopropyl alcohol for this, be careful not to touch the the thermal pads on the chips around the CPU.
