I'm going from memory, but I believe if you pull the keyboard (two screws on the bottom, marked with double arrows), and then the CPU fan which is held in by three phillips head screws (there may also be a small bracket to the left which may need to be removed as well) you should then have access to the CPU.

The ZIF socket for the CPU then has a standard flat blade screw which you turn to unlock the socket so you can pull the CPU out.

You can then just pop the new chip, in of course making sure to REINSTALL THE CPU FAN before powering on! Also the ribbon cable comming from the keyboard will also need to be at least plugged in to make the unit functional.

always check the memory slots first before taking the thing apart. from my experience, in 70% of the cases it's only the memory. cheap to replace, so you might be lucky.
