    Hi!

    I want to remove the combined CPU + GPU heatsink from an Asus Pro50SL notebook to replace the thermal paste. I already removed the fan and the 6 heatsink screws (4 CPU + 2 GPU), but the heatsing wont budge.

    Any ideas?

    I managed to solve it on my own. Running Intel Burn Test and Furmark helped to soften the applied thermal grease and it went off easily :))
