I have a DELL PC - P4-1.4 GHz, 128 MB, 40GB
I accidently happen to remove my processor from the motherboard. ( just out
of curiousity how does one look like). When i removed it, the heat sink was glued to it and it came off as a single piece.
I tried to put the processor back with the heat sink still attached, following the proper pin convention (after identifying the notch). But the computer wont boot. Also the lever on the CPU socket was still in horizontal position while i tried to put the processor with heat sink on it back in position.
Do i need to to detach heat sink from processor before I can put the processor back ?? and then apply silicon thermal glue and heat sink ??
The computer right now is DEAD, there is no signal to monitor, the SMPS and CPU fan do not work. There is no power to HDD, CD ROM or Floppy drive. However the Ethernet card LED and one LED on the motherboard glow ( which say no problem with SMPS). Also LED on POWER ON switch in the front panel glows AMBER, which means internal power problem.
Kindly suggest me the correct way for putting the processor back into its place.
Thanks in advance
