Solve : I need help removing this fan/heat sink from the CPU?

Answer»

Hello there, this desktop I'm working on is overheating and i want to replace the heat sink/fan and apply some thermal compound to the CPU.
For the life of me, I can't FIGURE out how to remove it. It doesn't have any screws or any latches(that I can see)
I have LOOKED at the manual for the desktop model and it doesn't provide any info on how to remove it
Please, any help WOULD be greatly appreciated

Desktop Model: Sony Viao PCV-RZ56G

Looks to me that you could just pull that black plastic arm up to release it.

I tried. but I stopped because I felt like I was going to snap the motherboard.

EDIT: I tried what you told me and i held down the mothboard and i got it! THANKS so much I owe you one
