How to access CPU on Ninkear N13 mini PC to change cooling paste?
How can I dissasemble this mini PC?
It is a Ninkear N13. I want to change the cooling paste, but cannot figure it out.
I have taken off SSDs, RAM etc. And I assume I need to unscrew the 4 "standoffs" in the corners?
I even emailed Ninkear and received this reply:
"You’ll also need to unscrew the four standoffs at the corners (as shown in the red circles in the picture). Then remove the Wi-Fi module and the SSD. After disconnecting the Wi-Fi antenna, you’ll be able to access the CPU."
But I can't figure it out. No matter what I do, I can't manage to rotate the 4 screws in the corners. I can't unscrew them or even make them move, and I don't want to use too much force and damage the PC.
Has anyone had any experience with a similar mini PC, or maybe even this Ninkear model?
