    Unscrew the four screws on the bottom and remove the bottom panel, Then unscrew the screws holding the left fan assembly on and remove it, this exposes the processor for replacement.

    You can go to AW website and look under support for instructions. Also the CPU's Intel Core 2 Duo's T7200, 2.0Ghz, T7400, 2.16 Ghz and T7600, 2.33 Ghz which is the Top of the line for that CPU! Ebay might shed you some pricing around $150.00-$200.00
