Help! Replacing Processor in HP Pavilion

binz_81

Can anyone help me please?
Ive bought a new processor for my HP Pavilion a219.uk but have no idea how to remove the fan and heatsink.
Any help greatly appreciated.

*I could email a pic of inside pc if it would help*

Thanks

A pic would help.

There's usually a lever of some sort for you to remove the CPU and a couple of clips for removing the heatsink.
