Remove the three Phillips screws in the battery compartment near the latch. Apple was nice enough to tilt these screws at a slight angle to make them easier to remove. On the A1261 these screws have 4 mm diameter heads rather than the 3 mm heads on the body screws.

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove and replace the motherboard and heat sink without detaching the heat sink? I sent out my mobo to be reballed and they returned it with a heat sink attached and would not honor their warranty if I separated the two, and they assured me it could be done.
thanks for any help

Sadly that is not possible. In order to remove the Heat Sink, you have to remove the Logic Board first. Also the speaker system and other parts are in between the Heat Sink and the Logic board, and you can't just pop the Heat Sink in with the Logic Board attached due to the port slots on the right side. To be honest with you, the fact that they reballed your board and shipped it with the Heat Sink attached, is very unusual? Especially for this model. It would work for other Logic Boards where the Heat Sink is actually screwed directly onto the Logic Board. If they assured you that it can be done, ask them to show you how to do it.
Thanks a lot for this guide! I used this guide to install new thermal paste. By far one of the more difficult operations i've done so far. My advise is to really take your time for this one and not rush anything at all. This model is now almost 10 years old but it still runs!
