@moehanned No need ... just reverse the steps ... and honestly, it's one of the easiest laptops to service, as straight forward as it gets.

Hello....I have a sony vaio CS-230j it's that ok !? And I have to clean the cpu too !?

[spade1984]

@moehanned Yes and Yes ... for the CPU just use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and wipe the old paste off of the cpu and heatsink and apply some fresh thermal paste.

Sure, sewing machine oil for example.

@MyLovelyAikido If you look at the video again at 1:15 I'm applying thermal paste onto the GPU.
