Reassembly Notes
- Reverse order – but pay attention to screw lengths. Long screws go through the chassis; short screws go into plastic or motherboard standoffs.
- Thermal paste: If you removed the heatsink, apply a pea-sized drop of new paste onto the CPU before reinstalling.
- Test before full closure: Reconnect the back panel just enough to plug in power and press the power button. Verify fan spin and display before screwing everything back.
Screw Management: Keep screws from the stand separate from the back cover screws, as they often differ in length.
